Hasselblad X2D vs Panasonic GH5 II

Here is a extended overview of the Hasselblad X2D versus Panasonic GH5 II, both Pro Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Hasselblad and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the X2D (100MP) and GH5 II (20MP) and the X2D (Medium format) and GH5 II (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor measurements.

The X2D was manufactured 14 months later than the GH5 II which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Hasselblad X2D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH5 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a concise view of how the X2D scores vs the GH5 II for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

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.
