On this page, we are looking at the Hasselblad X1D and Panasonic S1R, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by competitors Hasselblad and Panasonic. The image resolution of the X1D (51MP) and the S1R (47MP) is fairly comparable but the X1D (Medium format) and S1R (Full frame) boast different sensor sizes.

The X1D was launched 3 years before the S1R and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Hasselblad X1D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic S1R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the X1D matches up vs the S1R with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the X1D versus the S1R.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the X1D and S1R is 60 and 54 respectively.

Often, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the X1D and S1R.

To sum up, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X1D featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D will provide extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older X1D will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
