Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm X-A3 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking technical specs. The picture underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and Fujifilm X-A3.

As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Fujifilm X-A3 to give greater detail due to its extra 18MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
