The X2D was manufactured 10 years after the NX210 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the X2D scores against the NX210 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and NX210.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The X2D featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will give extra detail due to its extra 80MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern X2D is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
