Epson R-D1x vs Fujifilm GFX 50R Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out technical specs. The graphic below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1x and Fujifilm GFX 50R.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R-D1x using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Fujifilm GFX 50R will show more detail because of its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
