compared toCompact competitors

Generally, some of the advantages of the Epson R-D1x compared to compact competitors include: it has a much larger sensor (APS-C 23.7x15.6mm vs 1/2.7" 5.7x4.3mm), is newer (february, 2009 vs october, 2007), shoots RAW, has interchangeable lenses and has a viewfinder (rangefinder vs none).

However, on average it doesn't have a built-in flash, doesn't record movies (none vs 720p @ 30fps), has a much smaller screen (2.5" vs 3.0"), is much larger (standard size 142x89x40 mm vs super compact 95x58x19 mm) and doesn't have image stabilization (none vs lens).
