Hasselblad X1D vs Sony A6100 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it's hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the X1D and A6100.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The X1D with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X1D will offer greater detail with its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged X1D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
