Canon M3 vs Hasselblad X2D Sensor Comparison
Often, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M3 and X2D.
Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M3 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Hasselblad X2D will produce more detail due to its extra 76 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged M3 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
