Canon R5 C vs Hasselblad X1D Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The visual underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 C and X1D.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R5 C because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Hasselblad X1D will result in extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher R5 C will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
