Hasselblad X2D vs Panasonic GH5 II Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the X2D and GH5 II.

As you can see, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The X2D due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will deliver greater detail due to its extra 80 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The younger X2D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
