Canon 1D C vs Nikon D1X

Here, we will be evaluating the Canon 1D C vs Nikon D1X, both Pro DSLR cameras by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the 1D C (18MP) and D1X (5MP) and the 1D C (Full frame) and D1X (APS-C) posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The 1D C was released 10 years after the D1X which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before we go straight to a complete comparison, here is a concise view of how the 1D C scores versus the D1X with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS-1D C and Nikon D1X. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 1D C Gallery and Nikon D1X Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to carry around your camera frequently, you will have to think about its weight and measurements.

More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D C and D1X.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 1D C featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 1D C will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The younger 1D C is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
