Canon R6 vs Hasselblad X1D Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing a spec sheet. The image here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 and X1D.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R6 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Hasselblad X1D will provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern R6 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
