Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing only by going through specs. The visual here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the X1D II 50C and M Typ 262.

All in all, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X1D II 50C featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will produce greater detail due to its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern X1D II 50C should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
