What is the sensor size of the Hasselblad X1D?
The Hasselblad X1D-50c is a digital camera that has a medium format sensor at its core. This imager measures 43.8mm in width and 32.9mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 1 441 mm2.
The X1D provides an image resolution of 51.3 megapixels, based on 8 272 horizontal pixels and 6 200 vertical pixels.
Sensor size comparison with a film slide
The sensor diagonal measures 54.8mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 0.79. Thus, the Hasselblad X1D is a medium-format camera, as its sensor is larger than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.
Sensor specs and performance
The table below compares the sensor specs of the Hasselblad X1D to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
