Hasselblad X1D vs Leica M11

Let's look a little more closely at the Hasselblad X1D versus Leica M11, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by brands Hasselblad and Leica. The image resolution of the X1D (51MP) and the M11 (60MP) is fairly well matched but the X1D (Medium format) and M11 (Full frame) feature different sensor size.

The X1D was revealed 6 years earlier than the M11 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the X1D grades against the M11 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Hasselblad X1D and Leica M11. The full galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D Gallery and Leica M11 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera regularly, you'll need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Hasselblad X1D comes with outside measurements of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs) and the Leica M11 has measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 39mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.5") along with a weight of 640 grams (1.41 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilizing during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the X1D and the M11.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the X1D and M11 is 60 and 76 respectively.

Generally, it is tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by checking a spec sheet. The picture here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D and M11.

As you can see, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X1D having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Leica M11 will give you extra detail because of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged X1D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
