The X2D was revealed 8 years later than the 1 J4 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief view of how the X2D grades against the 1 J4 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Hasselblad X2D 100c and Nikon 1 J4. The full galleries are available at Hasselblad X2D Gallery and Nikon 1 J4 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the X2D and 1 J4.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X2D having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will result in extra detail because of its extra 82MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern X2D provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
