Epson R-D1x vs Fujifilm X-H2S Overview

On this page, we will be evaluating the Epson R-D1x vs Fujifilm X-H2S, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by rivals Epson and FujiFilm. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and Fujifilm X-H2S (26MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

Pentax 17 Pre-Orders Outperform Expectations by a Landslide

The R-D1x was unveiled 14 years earlier than the Fujifilm X-H2S and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Epson R-D1x being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm X-H2S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a full comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the R-D1x grades versus the Fujifilm X-H2S with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Epson R-D1x vs Fujifilm X-H2S Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing merely by seeing specifications. The graphic here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1x and Fujifilm X-H2S.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Fujifilm X-H2S to produce greater detail having an extra 20MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
