Generally, it can be difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing purely by seeing specifications. The graphic here will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 and X1D II 50C.

To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R6 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will produce greater detail with its extra 31MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger R6 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
