Sony A6500 has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz X processor. On the other hand, Epson R-D1x has a
6.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.6 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Sony A6500's sensor provides 18MP 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 A6500 and R-D1x sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A6500 and Epson R-D1x Cameras
Sony A6500 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
Sony A6500
or the
Epson R-D1x ,
including hyperfocal distance.
