The Fujifilm X-M1 was announced 3 years earlier than the X1D which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple overview of how the Fujifilm X-M1 grades versus the X1D when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-M1 & Hasselblad X1D. The whole galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-M1 Gallery & Hasselblad X1D Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and volume. The Fujifilm X-M1 has external measurements of 117mm x 67mm x 39mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 1.5") having a weight of 330 grams (0.73 lbs) while the Hasselblad X1D has sizing of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") and a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you select at that moment. The following is a front view overall size comparison of the Fujifilm X-M1 versus the X1D.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm X-M1 and X1D is 87 and 60 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through technical specs. The pic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-M1 and X1D.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-M1 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Hasselblad X1D will result in extra detail with its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-M1 will be behind in sensor technology.
