Canon M vs Hasselblad X2D Sensor Comparison
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.
