Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm X-H2S Overview

In this article, we are evaluating the Epson R-D1 versus Fujifilm X-H2S, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by companies Epson and FujiFilm. There exists a considerable gap among the resolutions of the R-D1 (6MP) and Fujifilm X-H2S (26MP) but they feature the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

Photography Glossary

The R-D1 was released 19 years earlier than the Fujifilm X-H2S which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm X-H2S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the R-D1 matches up against the Fujifilm X-H2S in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Epson R-D1 vs Fujifilm X-H2S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specs. The image here might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1 and Fujifilm X-H2S.
All in all, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-H2S to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 20 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
