The X1D II 50C was revealed 5 years after the S-1 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a in-depth comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the X1D II 50C matches up against the S-1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Hasselblad X1D II 50C and Kodak Pixpro S-1. The full galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D II 50C Gallery and Kodak S-1 Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera often, you have to factor its weight and proportions. The Hasselblad X1D II 50C comes with exterior measurements of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") along with a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs) while the Kodak S-1 has measurements of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") along with a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are working with during that time. Below is the front view physical size comparison of the X1D II 50C vs the S-1.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the X1D II 50C and S-1 is 60 and 88 respectively.

Oftentimes, its hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D II 50C and S-1.

As you can see, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X1D II 50C using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will offer you more detail because of its extra 35MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern X1D II 50C should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
