Epson R-D1 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by researching specifications. The pic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1 and NX2000.

Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Samsung NX2000 to provide you with more detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
