Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Hasselblad X1D is 50g lighter than the Fujifilm GFX 50R but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Hasselblad X1D and Fujifilm GFX 50R have the same Medium format sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
