Hasselblad X1D vs Leica M10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The visual below may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D and M10.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X1D featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 27MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The older X1D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
