Epson R-D1x vs Leica CL

Lets examine more closely at the Epson R-D1x vs Leica CL, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Epson and Leica. There is a noticeable difference between the sensor resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and CL (24MP) but they enjoy the same exact sensor sizes (APS-C).

The R-D1x was announced 9 years prior to the CL and that is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the R-D1x scores versus the CL with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

For those who are going to carry your camera often, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume. The Epson R-D1x offers external measurements of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") along with a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs) while the Leica CL has sizing of 131mm x 78mm x 45mm (5.2" x 3.1" x 1.8") and a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have attached during that time. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the R-D1x compared to the CL.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the R-D1x and CL is 75 and 82 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The visual underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and CL.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Leica CL to offer more detail with its extra 18MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
