All in all, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 400D featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Hasselblad X2D will show extra detail utilizing its extra 90 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older 400D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
