Epson R-D1x vs FujiFilm S1600 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1x and S1600.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R-D1x because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the FujiFilm S1600 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
