Let's take a deeper look at the Canon M6 versus Hasselblad X2D, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Hasselblad. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the M6 (24MP) and X2D (100MP) and the M6 (APS-C) and X2D (Medium format) boast different sensor sizes.

The M6 was launched 6 years prior to the X2D and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the M6 scores versus the X2D with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

For anybody who is going to carry your camera often, you'll have to factor its weight and size. The Canon M6 enjoys exterior measurements of 112mm x 68mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.7" x 1.8") along with a weight of 390 grams (0.86 lbs) while the Hasselblad X2D has specifications of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached during that time. Underneath is a front view over all size comparison of the M6 versus the X2D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M6 and X2D is 84 and 56 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The visual here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 and X2D.

As you have seen, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M6 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Hasselblad X2D will show more detail utilizing its extra 76 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older M6 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
