The X2D was introduced 6 years after the GX85 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the X2D scores against the GX85 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

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.
