Hasselblad X2D vs Leica M Typ 240

Here, we are evaluating the Hasselblad X2D and Leica M Typ 240, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Hasselblad and Leica. There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the X2D (100MP) and M Typ 240 (24MP) and the X2D (Medium format) and M Typ 240 (Full frame) boast totally different sensor measurements.

The X2D was introduced 10 years later than the M Typ 240 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the X2D matches up against the M Typ 240 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Hasselblad X2D 100c & Leica M Typ 240. The whole galleries are viewable at Hasselblad X2D Gallery & Leica M Typ 240 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Hasselblad X2D comes with outer dimensions of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") having a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) while the Leica M Typ 240 has measurements of 139mm x 80mm x 42mm (5.5" x 3.1" x 1.7") and a weight of 680 grams (1.50 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have at the time. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the X2D versus the M Typ 240.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the X2D and M Typ 240 is 56 and 74 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The graphic below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the X2D and M Typ 240.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X2D having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will give you extra detail using its extra 76MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer X2D is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
