Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Sigma Quattro H and Hasselblad X1D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Sigma Quattro H and Hasselblad X1D. Sigma Quattro H is 3mm narrower and 3mm shorter than Hasselblad X1D but it is also 20mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of Sigma Quattro H and Hasselblad X1D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sigma Quattro H and Hasselblad X1D.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sigma Quattro H is 725g lighter than the Hasselblad X1D 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 Hasselblad X1D has a Medium format sensor and Sigma Quattro H has a smaller APS-H sensor, Sigma Quattro H's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Hasselblad X1D lenses.

Weather Sealing
Both Quattro H and X1D have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Sigma Quattro H and Hasselblad X1D's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don\'t tilt or flip in directions.
Sigma Quattro H has a 45.0MP APS-H (26.6 x 17.9 mm ) sized CMOS (Foveon X3) sensor and features Dual TRUE III processor. On the other hand, Hasselblad X1D has a 51.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Hasselblad X1D's sensor provides 6MP more than Sigma Quattro H's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the Quattro H and X1D sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Hasselblad X1D has a 3.0x Larger sensor area than Sigma Quattro H. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Sigma Quattro H has an advantage over Hasselblad X1D. There are 76 lenses for Sigma Quattro H's Sigma SA Bayonet mount, on the other hand there are only 4 lenses for Hasselblad X1D's Hasselblad X lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 28 lenses for Sigma SA Bayonet mount and 0 lenses for Hasselblad X mount with IS.
