The R-D1 was announced 7 years earlier than the JV200 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the FujiFilm JV200 being a Compact camera.

Before diving through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short view of how the R-D1 grades versus the JV200 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Epson R-D1 and FujiFilm FinePix JV200. The whole galleries are available at Epson R-D1 Gallery and FujiFilm JV200 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the R-D1 and JV200 is 75 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The visual here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and JV200.

To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R-D1 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the FujiFilm JV200 will produce greater detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older R-D1 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
