Canon M100 vs Hasselblad X1D

Here, we are looking at the Canon M100 versus Hasselblad X1D, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Hasselblad. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and X1D (51MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and X1D (Medium format) provide different sensor dimensions.

The M100 was revealed 15 months later than the X1D making them a generation apart from one another. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the M100 matches up against the X1D when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M100 and Hasselblad X1D. The full galleries are viewable at Canon M100 Gallery and Hasselblad X1D Gallery.

For those who are intending to lug around your camera, you should think about its weight and volume. The Canon M100 enjoys exterior dimensions of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 302 grams (0.67 lbs) while the Hasselblad X1D has sizing of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") and a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you select at the time. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the M100 against the X1D.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M100 and X1D is 88 and 60 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by going over technical specs. The visual here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M100 and X1D.

As you have seen, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M100 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Hasselblad X1D will deliver extra detail because of its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher M100 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
