What size LCD is on the Epson R-D1?

The Epson R-D1 features a 2.0-inch rear LCD display, which offers a resolution of 235,000 dots. LCD-size is measured across the diagonal of the screen. Having a large and detailed display on the back is convenient for image review, and settings control. Naturally, the size of the LCD is correlated with the size of the camera, as a bigger camera body will offer more space on the back to place a sizeable rear screen.

In terms of screen handling characteristics, the LCD of the Epson R-D1 is not touch sensitive and is fixed to the body.
