Canon R5 C vs Hasselblad X1D II 50C Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R5 C and X1D II 50C.
As you have seen, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will result in extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger R5 C provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
