Oftentimes, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the X1D II 50C and NEX-F3.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X1D II 50C due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will result in extra detail due to its extra 35 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The newer X1D II 50C should have an edge in sensor tech.
