Canon SX600 HS vs Epson R-D1

Let's look much closer at the Canon SX600 HS and Epson R-D1, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Epson. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX600 HS (16MP) and R-D1 (6MP) and the SX600 HS (1/2.3") and R-D1 (APS-C) use different sensor sizing.

The SX600 HS was revealed 9 years after the R-D1 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX600 HS being a Compact camera and the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a concise overview of how the SX600 HS matches up vs the R-D1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX600 HS and Epson R-D1. The full galleries are viewable at Canon SX600 HS Gallery and Epson R-D1 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and size.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX600 HS and R-D1 is 93 and 75 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at technical specs. The pic here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX600 HS and R-D1.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX600 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon SX600 HS will resolve more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The newer SX600 HS should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
