Epson R-D1x vs Panasonic GM1 Sensor Comparison
Often, it's tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1x and GM1.
Clearly, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R-D1x with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic GM1 will result in extra detail using its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
