Often, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and NX210.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X1D featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will show more detail as a result of its extra 31 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern X1D should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
