Canon M100 vs Hasselblad X2D

Let's look closer at the Canon M100 and Hasselblad X2D, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Hasselblad. There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the M100 (24MP) and X2D (100MP) and the M100 (APS-C) and X2D (Medium format) possess totally different sensor dimensions.

The M100 was unveiled 6 years prior to the X2D and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the M100 scores versus the X2D when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M100 & Hasselblad X2D 100c. The full galleries are viewable at Canon M100 Gallery & Hasselblad X2D Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon M100 comes with external measurements of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") with a weight of 302 grams (0.67 lbs) and the Hasselblad X2D has proportions of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you use at that moment. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the M100 and the X2D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M100 and X2D is 88 and 56 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking specifications. The photograph below will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M100 and X2D.

To sum up, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M100 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Hasselblad X2D will give greater detail having an extra 76MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older M100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
