The X1D was introduced 4 years before the fp which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the X1D matches up vs the fp with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Hasselblad X1D and Sigma fp. The whole galleries are provided at Hasselblad X1D Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera regularly, you'll have to think about its weight and proportions.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the X1D compared to the fp.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the X1D and fp is 60 and 84 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and fp.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X1D with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will deliver greater detail using its extra 26MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged X1D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
