Hasselblad X1D vs Leica M Typ 262 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The image underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the X1D and M Typ 262.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X1D due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D will render extra detail as a result of its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer X1D is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
