The X1D was released 8 months after the M Typ 262 and they are of a similar age. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the X1D grades vs the M Typ 262 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Hasselblad X1D & Leica M Typ 262. The complete galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D Gallery & Leica M Typ 262 Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and size.

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.
