The R-D1 was unveiled 11 years earlier than the Fujifilm X-T1 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm X-T1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a complete comparison, here is a simple summation of how the R-D1 matches up versus the Fujifilm X-T1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by researching specs. The picture here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1 and Fujifilm X-T1.

All in all, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Fujifilm X-T1 to result in extra detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
