The X1D was announced 5 years before the fp L which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the X1D scores vs the fp L when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Hasselblad X1D & Sigma fp L. The whole galleries are provided at Hasselblad X1D Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

As you can tell, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The X1D with its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Sigma fp L will result in more detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged X1D will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
