To sum up, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 1100D because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon 1D C will provide you with extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged 1100D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
