Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Canon 10D, which was introduced in March 2003 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 6.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Epson R-D1, which was introduced in March 2004 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 6.0MP APS-C sensor. There is only 11 months difference between 10D and R-D1 so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Canon 10D and Epson R-D1 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Canon 10D and Epson R-D1 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
