The X2D was announced 4 years after the G9 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Hasselblad X2D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G9 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the X2D grades against the G9 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select at that moment. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the X2D compared to the G9.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the X2D and G9 is 56 and 62 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the X2D and G9.

As you can tell, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X2D with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Hasselblad X2D will offer you greater detail with its extra 80MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The fresher X2D should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
