The X1D was announced 7 years later than the P80 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Hasselblad X1D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon P80 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief overview of how the X1D scores versus the P80 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Hasselblad X1D and Nikon Coolpix P80. The whole galleries are viewable at Hasselblad X1D Gallery and Nikon P80 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you need to factor its weight and measurements.

Typically, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The visual below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D and P80.

As you can see, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X1D having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D will deliver extra detail with its extra 41 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer X1D will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
