Samsung NX300 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMe IV processor. On the other hand, Epson R-D1x has a
6.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.6 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Samsung NX300's sensor provides 14MP 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 NX300 and R-D1x sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX300 and Epson R-D1x Cameras
Samsung NX300 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
Samsung NX300
or the
Epson R-D1x ,
including hyperfocal distance.
