Hasselblad X2D vs Panasonic GX85 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing technical specs. The picture here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and GX85.

As you have seen, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X2D using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X2D will offer you greater detail using its extra 84MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger X2D will have an edge in sensor innovation.
