Canon R6 vs Hasselblad X2D Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes merely by viewing specifications. The image below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 and X2D.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R6 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Hasselblad X2D will provide you with greater detail having its extra 80 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged R6 will be behind in sensor innovation.
