The R-D1x was brought out 4 years earlier than the Fujifilm S8300 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Epson R-D1x being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm S8300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a quick overview of how the R-D1x scores versus the Fujifilm S8300 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1x and Fujifilm S8300.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm S8300 will resolve extra detail having its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
