Epson R-D1x vs Panasonic GX7

Let's examine more closely at the Epson R-D1x versus Panasonic GX7, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras by companies Epson and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and GX7 (16MP) and the R-D1x (APS-C) and GX7 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor sizing.

The R-D1x was released 5 years before the GX7 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a detailed comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the R-D1x matches up versus the GX7 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Epson R-D1x & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7. The complete galleries are available at Epson R-D1x Gallery & Panasonic GX7 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera often, you'll have to consider its weight and measurements. The Epson R-D1x has physical dimensions of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") along with a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs) and the Panasonic GX7 has proportions of 123mm x 71mm x 55mm (4.8" x 2.8" x 2.2") along with a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have attached at that time. The following is the front view overall size comparison of the R-D1x against the GX7.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R-D1x and GX7 is 75 and 81 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1x and GX7.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R-D1x featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic GX7 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older R-D1x is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
