Generally, its difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and X2D.

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R5 C due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will show more detail as a result of its extra 55 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged R5 C will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
