Hasselblad X1D vs Olympus E-P7 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through specifications. The picture here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and E-P7.
To sum up, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X1D with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D will render more detail having an extra 31MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged X1D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
