Hasselblad X1D vs Hasselblad X2D Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the X1D and X2D.

To sum up, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Hasselblad X2D to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 49MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older X1D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
