The X1D was released 3 years later than the NX210 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short summation of how the X1D grades vs the NX210 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

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.
