Hasselblad X1D II 50C vs Panasonic GX85

Let's examine more closely at the Hasselblad X1D II 50C and Panasonic GX85, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Hasselblad and Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the X1D II 50C (51MP) and GX85 (16MP) and the X1D II 50C (Medium format) and GX85 (Four Thirds) come with different sensor sizes.

The X1D II 50C was released 3 years after the GX85 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the X1D II 50C grades against the GX85 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Hasselblad X1D II 50C and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85. The complete galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D II 50C Gallery and Panasonic GX85 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to carry around your camera frequently, you'll have to take into account its weight and volume. The Hasselblad X1D II 50C offers outer measurements of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs) whilst the Panasonic GX85 has sizing of 122mm x 71mm x 44mm (4.8" x 2.8" x 1.7") accompanied by a weight of 426 grams (0.94 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are using during that time. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the X1D II 50C versus the GX85.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the X1D II 50C and GX85 is 60 and 83 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The image here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D II 50C and GX85.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X1D II 50C due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent X1D II 50C should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
