Hasselblad X1D vs Leica M Typ 240

Following is a complete assessment of the Hasselblad X1D and Leica M Typ 240, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Hasselblad and Leica. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the X1D (51MP) and M Typ 240 (24MP) and the X1D (Medium format) and M Typ 240 (Full frame) boast different sensor sizes.

The X1D was introduced 3 years after the M Typ 240 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short overview of how the X1D scores against the M Typ 240 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Hasselblad X1D and Leica M Typ 240. The whole galleries are viewable at Hasselblad X1D Gallery and Leica M Typ 240 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry around your camera, you should think about its weight and size. The Hasselblad X1D provides outside dimensions of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") with a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs) whilst the Leica M Typ 240 has specifications of 139mm x 80mm x 42mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.7") along with a weight of 680 grams (1.50 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the X1D versus the M Typ 240.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the X1D and M Typ 240 is 60 and 74 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes just by checking out specifications. The picture here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and M Typ 240.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X1D using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will provide greater detail using its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern X1D should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
