Leica TL has a
16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Epson R-D1x has a
6.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.6 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Leica TL's sensor provides 10MP more than Epson R-D1x's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the TL and R-D1x sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica TL and Epson R-D1x Cameras
Leica TL and Epson R-D1x have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Leica TL
or the
Epson R-D1x ,
including hyperfocal distance.
