All in all, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The X1D II 50C because of its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will provide greater detail due to its extra 39 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger X1D II 50C provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
