The R-D1x was brought out 3 years earlier than the NEX-7 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the R-D1x matches up versus the NEX-7 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Epson R-D1x and Sony Alpha NEX-7. The entire galleries are provided at Epson R-D1x Gallery and Sony NEX-7 Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera frequently, you will have to factor its weight and size.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the R-D1x compared to the NEX-7.

Normally, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and NEX-7.

Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony NEX-7 to give you more detail having its extra 18MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be behind in sensor technology.
