Canon SX740 HS vs Epson R-D1

Below, we will be looking at the Canon SX740 HS versus Epson R-D1, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Canon and Epson. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and R-D1 (6MP) and the SX740 HS (1/2.3") and R-D1 (APS-C) use different sensor size.

The SX740 HS was announced 14 years after the R-D1 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX740 HS being a Compact camera and the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short overview of how the SX740 HS matches up versus the R-D1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Often, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes purely by checking out specs. The pic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX740 HS and R-D1.

All in all, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX740 HS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Canon SX740 HS will show greater detail with its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher SX740 HS should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
