Fujifilm X-E2 vs Hasselblad X1D II 50C

Let's take a more detailed look at the Fujifilm X-E2 and Hasselblad X1D II 50C, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies FujiFilm and Hasselblad. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-E2 (16MP) and X1D II 50C (51MP) and the Fujifilm X-E2 (APS-C) and X1D II 50C (Medium format) have different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The Fujifilm X-E2 was released 6 years earlier than the X1D II 50C which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple overview of how the Fujifilm X-E2 grades versus the X1D II 50C for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-E2 and Hasselblad X1D II 50C. The complete galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-E2 Gallery and Hasselblad X1D II 50C Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to carry around your camera often, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Fujifilm X-E2 provides outer dimensions of 129mm x 75mm x 37mm (5.1" x 3.0" x 1.5") having a weight of 350 grams (0.77 lbs) while the Hasselblad X1D II 50C has measurements of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") having a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs).

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm X-E2 and X1D II 50C is 85 and 60 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-E2 and X1D II 50C.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-E2 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will offer more detail as a result of its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-E2 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
