As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R-D1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Hasselblad X1D will offer greater detail having its extra 45MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older R-D1 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
