Epson R-D1x vs FujiFilm S4000 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and S4000.

Plainly, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the FujiFilm S4000 will resolve extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
