Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm S4500

Let's examine more in depth at the Epson R-D1 and Fujifilm S4500, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Epson and FujiFilm. There is a considerable difference among the image resolutions of the R-D1 (6MP) and Fujifilm S4500 (14MP) and the R-D1 (APS-C) and Fujifilm S4500 (1/2.3") use different sensor dimensions.

The R-D1 was brought out 8 years earlier than the Fujifilm S4500 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm S4500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going through a in depth comparison, below is a concise summation of how the R-D1 grades against the Fujifilm S4500 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Oftentimes, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and Fujifilm S4500.

As you can see, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R-D1 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm S4500 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older R-D1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
