Canon 1D C vs Pentax 645Z Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D C and 645Z.
Plainly, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1D C due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Pentax 645Z will deliver more detail due to its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 1D C is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
