The X1D was revealed 7 years before the S5 II which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Hasselblad X1D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic S5 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple overview of how the X1D scores versus the S5 II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Hasselblad X1D and Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 Mark II. The full galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D Gallery and Panasonic S5 II Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera frequently, you will want to take into account its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizes only by checking a spec sheet. The image below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the X1D and S5 II.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The X1D having a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will resolve greater detail because of its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged X1D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
