Hasselblad X2D vs Sigma fp

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Hasselblad X2D versus Sigma fp, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by rivals Hasselblad and Sigma. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the X2D (100MP) and fp (25MP) and the X2D (Medium format) and fp (Full frame) have totally different sensor size.

The X2D was announced 3 years later than the fp and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick summation of how the X2D grades against the fp in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you're going to lug around your camera, you will need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Hasselblad X2D comes with physical measurements of 149mm x 106mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) while the Sigma fp has dimensions of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") accompanied by a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are employing at that time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the X2D versus the fp.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the X2D and fp is 56 and 84 respectively.

Often, its difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and fp.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X2D using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Hasselblad X2D will render extra detail with its extra 75MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher X2D is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
