More often than not, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specs. The image underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the X2D and Z7.

All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The X2D featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X2D will result in extra detail due to its extra 54 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The younger X2D will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
