Oftentimes, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing technical specs. The visual below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and NEX-F3.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X1D using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D will offer you greater detail having an extra 35MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The fresher X1D should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
