Epson R-D1x vs Fujifilm HS50 EXR

Here is a extended review of the Epson R-D1x versus Fujifilm HS50 EXR, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Epson and FujiFilm. There is a large difference between the resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and Fujifilm HS50 EXR (16MP) and the R-D1x (APS-C) and Fujifilm HS50 EXR (1/2") offer totally different sensor size.

The R-D1x was released 4 years prior to the Fujifilm HS50 EXR and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Epson R-D1x being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go right into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the R-D1x matches up versus the Fujifilm HS50 EXR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Epson R-D1x & Fujifilm FinePix HS50 EXR. The complete galleries are available at Epson R-D1x Gallery & Fujifilm HS50 EXR Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera, you should think about its weight and volume.

Oftentimes, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1x and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
