Epson R-D1x vs Sigma fp

Below is a extended comparison of the Epson R-D1x and Sigma fp, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by rivals Epson and Sigma. There is a large difference among the sensor resolutions of the R-D1x (6MP) and fp (25MP) and the R-D1x (APS-C) and fp (Full frame) provide totally different sensor size.

The R-D1x was brought out 11 years earlier than the fp and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the R-D1x scores vs the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Epson R-D1x & Sigma fp. The entire galleries are viewable at Epson R-D1x Gallery & Sigma fp Gallery.

For those who are looking to lug around your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and size. The Epson R-D1x provides physical dimensions of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") and a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs) and the Sigma fp has specifications of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you select during that time. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the R-D1x compared to the fp.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the R-D1x and fp is 75 and 84 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1x and fp.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R-D1x because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will show greater detail having its extra 19MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1x will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
