Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The graphic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D II 50C and G9.

Plainly, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X1D II 50C having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will deliver extra detail because of its extra 31MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The newer X1D II 50C should have a benefit in sensor technology.
