Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm S8300

Below, we will be comparing the Epson R-D1 versus Fujifilm S8300, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Epson and FujiFilm. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the R-D1 (6MP) and Fujifilm S8300 (16MP) and the R-D1 (APS-C) and Fujifilm S8300 (1/2.3") use totally different sensor dimensions.

The R-D1 was revealed 9 years earlier than the Fujifilm S8300 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm S8300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a short overview of how the R-D1 matches up versus the Fujifilm S8300 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Epson R-D1 and Fujifilm FinePix S8300. The full galleries are viewable at Epson R-D1 Gallery and Fujifilm S8300 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry your camera frequently, you'll have to factor its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by checking out specifications. The visual below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1 and Fujifilm S8300.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R-D1 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Fujifilm S8300 will show more detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older R-D1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
