Hasselblad X1D vs Panasonic S1H

Here is a comprehensive overview of the Hasselblad X1D versus Panasonic S1H, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Hasselblad and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the X1D (51MP) and S1H (24MP) and the X1D (Medium format) and S1H (Full frame) come with different sensor size.

The X1D was brought out 4 years before the S1H and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Hasselblad X1D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the X1D scores vs the S1H when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Hasselblad X1D & Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H. The entire galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D Gallery & Panasonic S1H Gallery.

If you're intending to carry your camera regularly, you need to think about its weight and measurements. The Hasselblad X1D enjoys external dimensions of 150mm x 98mm x 71mm (5.9" x 3.9" x 2.8") having a weight of 725 grams (1.60 lbs) and the Panasonic S1H has proportions of 151mm x 114mm x 110mm (5.9" x 4.5" x 4.3") accompanied by a weight of 1052 grams (2.32 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are working with at the time. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the X1D against the S1H.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the X1D and S1H is 60 and 52 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and S1H.

Plainly, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X1D due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Hasselblad X1D will give you more detail having its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older X1D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
