Epson R-D1x vs Nikon 1 J4

Lets look a bit more in depth at the Epson R-D1x vs Nikon 1 J4, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Epson and Nikon. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and 1 J4 (18MP) and the R-D1x (APS-C) and 1 J4 (1") provide different sensor sizing.

The R-D1x was introduced 6 years before the 1 J4 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the R-D1x scores versus the 1 J4 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Epson R-D1x and Nikon 1 J4. The whole galleries are viewable at Epson R-D1x Gallery and Nikon 1 J4 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and volume.

Normally, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing just by going through specs. The graphic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and 1 J4.

All in all, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon 1 J4 will show more detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
