Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm S1500

Lets take a closer look at the Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm S1500, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Epson and FujiFilm. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the R-D1 (6MP) and Fujifilm S1500 (10MP) and the R-D1 (APS-C) and Fujifilm S1500 (1/2.3") come with different sensor size.

The R-D1 was released 6 years before the Fujifilm S1500 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm S1500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight into a detailed comparison, below is a simple overview of how the R-D1 grades against the Fujifilm S1500 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Epson R-D1 and Fujifilm FinePix S1500. The complete galleries are available at Epson R-D1 Gallery and Fujifilm S1500 Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry around your camera, you have to take into account its weight and size.

Often, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1 and Fujifilm S1500.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh easier and the Fujifilm S1500 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
