The 10D was unveiled 3 years earlier than the 1D MII N which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon 10D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon 1D MII N being a Large SLR camera.

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a simple summation of how the 10D matches up vs the 1D MII N with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 10D and Canon EOS-1D Mark II N. The full galleries are provided at Canon 10D Gallery and Canon 1D MII N Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera frequently, you need to consider its weight and volume.

In many cases, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The picture below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and 1D MII N.

As you have seen, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 10D having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Canon 1D MII N will produce more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
