The M10 was manufactured 8 years before the X2D which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief overview of how the M10 grades versus the X2D in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M10 and Hasselblad X2D 100c. The entire galleries are available at Canon M10 Gallery and Hasselblad X2D Gallery.

In many cases, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at specs. The pic below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and X2D.

All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M10 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Hasselblad X2D will give you greater detail due to its extra 82 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged M10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
