Epson R-D1x vs Leica M11 Sensor Comparison
Generally, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specs. The pic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and M11.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1x due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Leica M11 will render more detail utilizing its extra 54 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be behind in sensor technology.
