The X1D was introduced 3 years before the Z6 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Hasselblad X1D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Nikon Z6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a simple summation of how the X1D grades against the Z6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is the front view scale comparison of the X1D compared to the Z6.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the X1D and Z6 is 60 and 62 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specs. The pic below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the X1D and Z6.

All in all, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X1D having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X1D will offer more detail using its extra 26 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged X1D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
