The 1D C was released 2 years after the 1D MIV which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before going into a full comparison, here is a brief summary of how the 1D C scores against the 1D MIV in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1D C & Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. The complete galleries are available at Canon 1D C Gallery & Canon 1D MIV Gallery.

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.
