Clearly, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R50 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The fresher R50 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
