The R-D1x was introduced 14 years before the X2D which is quite a sizable difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the R-D1x scores against the X2D when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Generally, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking specifications. The picture here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R-D1x and X2D.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1x using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Hasselblad X2D will give extra detail using its extra 94MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
