Hasselblad X2D vs Panasonic GH5S

In this article, we will be evaluating the Hasselblad X2D vs Panasonic GH5S, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by brands Hasselblad and Panasonic. There exists a large gap among the image resolutions of the X2D (100MP) and GH5S (10MP) and the X2D (Medium format) and GH5S (Four Thirds) come with different sensor measurements.

The X2D was announced 4 years later than the GH5S and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Hasselblad X2D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the X2D grades against the GH5S in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

In case you're intending to carry your camera, you'll have to think about its weight and proportions. The Hasselblad X2D features outside measurements of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") along with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) and the Panasonic GH5S has measurements of 139mm x 98mm x 87mm (5.5" x 3.9" x 3.4") along with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are employing at the time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the X2D against the GH5S.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the X2D and GH5S is 56 and 62 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing merely by checking out specifications. The visual underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and GH5S.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X2D having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will provide more detail with its extra 90MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer X2D should have a benefit in sensor tech.
