Canon M vs Hasselblad X2D

Below, we will be evaluating the Canon M vs Hasselblad X2D, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Canon and Hasselblad. There exists a substantial gap among the sensor resolutions of the M (18MP) and X2D (100MP) and the M (APS-C) and X2D (Medium format) enjoy different sensor sizes.

The M was manufactured 11 years earlier than the X2D and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the M grades vs the X2D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M & Hasselblad X2D 100c. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon M Gallery & Hasselblad X2D Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry your camera, you have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Canon M has external dimensions of 109mm x 66mm x 32mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 298 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Hasselblad X2D has measurements of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you choose at that moment. Underneath is the front view scale comparison of the M vs the X2D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M and X2D is 89 and 56 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing specs. The visual below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and X2D.

All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Hasselblad X2D will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 82MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older M will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
