Fujifilm X-E2 vs Hasselblad X1D II 50C Sensor Comparison

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.
