Epson R-D1 vs Hasselblad X2D

Following is a in depth assessment of the Epson R-D1 vs Hasselblad X2D, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Epson and Hasselblad. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the R-D1 (6MP) and X2D (100MP) and the R-D1 (APS-C) and X2D (Medium format) come with totally different sensor dimensions.

The R-D1 was announced 19 years earlier than the X2D which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the R-D1 grades against the X2D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Epson R-D1 and Hasselblad X2D 100c. The whole galleries are viewable at Epson R-D1 Gallery and Hasselblad X2D Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry around your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and measurements. The Epson R-D1 enjoys outer dimensions of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") along with a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs) while the Hasselblad X2D has proportions of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") along with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use at that time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the R-D1 vs the X2D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the R-D1 and X2D is 75 and 56 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R-D1 and X2D.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R-D1 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Hasselblad X2D will produce more detail with its extra 94MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 will be behind in sensor innovation.
