Canon RP vs Epson R-D1x

On this page, we will be reviewing the Canon RP vs Epson R-D1x, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by brands Canon and Epson. There exists a noticeable gap among the resolutions of the RP (26MP) and R-D1x (6MP) and the RP (Full frame) and R-D1x (APS-C) posses different sensor dimensions.

Photography Glossary

The RP was brought out 10 years later than the R-D1x and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon RP being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Epson R-D1x being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the RP grades against the R-D1x with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS RP & Epson R-D1x. The entire galleries are provided at Canon RP Gallery & Epson R-D1x Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions.

More often than not, it's hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the RP and R-D1x.

As you can see, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The RP featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Canon RP will provide extra detail having its extra 20MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher RP should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
