Epson R-D1x vs Leica M11

Let's look more closely at the Epson R-D1x versus Leica M11, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Epson and Leica. There is a huge difference among the resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and M11 (60MP) and the R-D1x (APS-C) and M11 (Full frame) boast totally different sensor sizes.

The R-D1x was launched 14 years earlier than the M11 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple summation of how the R-D1x grades against the M11 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Epson R-D1x and Leica M11. The complete galleries are available at Epson R-D1x Gallery and Leica M11 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and measurements. The Epson R-D1x comes with physical measurements of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") accompanied by a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs) whilst the Leica M11 has proportions of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you choose during that time. The following is a front view proportions comparison of the R-D1x against the M11.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the R-D1x and M11 is 75 and 76 respectively.

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.
