Hasselblad X2D vs Leica TL Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by seeing specifications. The visual below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and TL.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The X2D because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X2D will produce greater detail due to its extra 84MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher X2D will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
