The R-D1 was revealed 16 years earlier than the fp and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the R-D1 grades vs the fp for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Epson R-D1 and Sigma fp. The full galleries are available at Epson R-D1 Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1 and fp.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R-D1 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will deliver extra detail because of its extra 19MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
