Epson R-D1x vs Leica M Typ 262 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1x and M Typ 262.

To sum up, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1x because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica M Typ 262 will produce extra detail due to its extra 18MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
