Canon 1D C vs Nikon D1H

Its time to look a little more in depth at the Canon 1D C versus Nikon D1H, both Pro DSLR cameras by companies Canon and Nikon. There exists a huge gap among the resolutions of the 1D C (18MP) and D1H (3MP) and the 1D C (Full frame) and D1H (APS-C) use different sensor sizes.

The 1D C was released 10 years after the D1H which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the 1D C scores vs the D1H in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS-1D C and Nikon D1H. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 1D C Gallery and Nikon D1H Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and size. The Canon 1D C has physical dimensions of 158mm x 164mm x 83mm (6.2" x 6.5" x 3.3") and a weight of 1500 grams (3.31 lbs) while the Nikon D1H has specifications of 157mm x 153mm x 85mm (6.2" x 6.0" x 3.3") along with a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are employing during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the 1D C compared to the D1H.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1D C and D1H is 50 and 51 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The pic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D C and D1H.

As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 1D C because of its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 1D C will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more recent 1D C provides a benefit in sensor tech.
