The X1D was launched 7 months earlier than the M10 which means that they are both of a similar age. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the X1D matches up vs the M10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Hasselblad X1D & Leica M10. The complete galleries are provided at Hasselblad X1D Gallery & Leica M10 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and dimensions.

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.
