Here is a in depth assessment of the Hasselblad X2D vs Panasonic S1H, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by rivals Hasselblad and Panasonic. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the X2D (100MP) and S1H (24MP) and the X2D (Medium format) and S1H (Full frame) have totally different sensor sizing.

The X2D was released 3 years later than the S1H and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Hasselblad X2D being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a complete comparison, here is a short summation of how the X2D grades vs the S1H with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using during that time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the X2D vs the S1H.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the X2D and S1H is 56 and 52 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing technical specs. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the X2D and S1H.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X2D because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X2D will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 76 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern X2D will have an edge in sensor innovation.
