The M6 MII was introduced 4 years before the X2D and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a short overview of how the M6 MII matches up vs the X2D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M6 Mark II and Hasselblad X2D 100c. The whole galleries are provided at Canon M6 MII Gallery and Hasselblad X2D Gallery.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through technical specs. The graphic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 MII and X2D.

As you can tell, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M6 MII using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Hasselblad X2D will produce greater detail using its extra 67 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older M6 MII will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
