As you can tell, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X1D because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will deliver extra detail due to its extra 31MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged X1D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
