Fujifilm X-A2 vs Hasselblad X2D Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-A2 and X2D.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-A2 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Hasselblad X2D will give you more detail having its extra 84MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A2 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
