Canon 1000D vs Canon 1D C Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1000D and 1D C.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1000D using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon 1D C will offer more detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The older 1000D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
