Hasselblad X1D II 50C vs Samsung NX1100

Let's take a closer look at the Hasselblad X1D II 50C and Samsung NX1100, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Hasselblad and Samsung. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the X1D II 50C (51MP) and NX1100 (20MP) and the X1D II 50C (Medium format) and NX1100 (APS-C) use different sensor measurements.

The X1D II 50C was unveiled 6 years later than the NX1100 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going through a in-depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the X1D II 50C grades against the NX1100 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you select at that moment. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the X1D II 50C against the NX1100.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the X1D II 50C and NX1100 is 60 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D II 50C and NX1100.

Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The X1D II 50C having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will deliver extra detail having an extra 31MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more recent X1D II 50C provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
