Canon 1D C vs Canon 1D MIV Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specifications. The pic below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D C and 1D MIV.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 1D C featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 1D C will show more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The newer 1D C will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
