The X1D was announced 3 years after the NX1100 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief view of how the X1D grades vs the NX1100 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Hasselblad X1D and Samsung NX1100. The whole galleries are available at Hasselblad X1D Gallery and Samsung NX1100 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to travel with your camera frequently, you will want to take into account its weight and size.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached at that time. Following is the front view dimension comparison of the X1D and the NX1100.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the X1D and NX1100 is 60 and 90 respectively.

Quite often, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D and NX1100.

Clearly, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X1D with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will offer you more detail with its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger X1D should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
