Epson R-D1x vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and Quattro.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sigma Quattro to render extra detail due to its extra 23MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be behind in sensor innovation.
