Epson R-D1x vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and G95.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic G95 will offer you greater detail having its extra 14.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
