Epson R-D1x vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing technical specs. The picture below will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1x and NX3000.

As you have seen, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung NX3000 to offer you more detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
