Epson R-D1x vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes only by going over a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1x and NX200.

As you can see, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Samsung NX200 to deliver greater detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
