Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Epson R-D1, which was introduced in March 2004 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 6.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Nikon D100, which was introduced in July 2002 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 6.0MP APS-C sensor. There is 20 months difference between R-D1 and D100 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger R-D1, especially in sensor tech.
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 Epson R-D1 and Nikon D100 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Epson R-D1 and Nikon D100 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
