Hasselblad X1D vs Sony ZV-E1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through specs. The graphic below might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X1D and ZV-E1.
All in all, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The X1D using its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will provide more detail because of its extra 39 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The older X1D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
