Canon 1D MII N vs Canon 1D X

Below is a in-depth overview of the Canon 1D MII N and Canon 1D X, both Pro DSLR cameras and both of them are built by Canon. There exists a substantial gap among the resolutions of the 1D MII N (8MP) and 1D X (18MP) and the 1D MII N (APS-H) and 1D X (Full frame) boast totally different sensor dimensions.

The 1D MII N was released 7 years earlier than the 1D X and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the 1D MII N matches up vs the 1D X with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS-1D Mark II N & Canon EOS-1D X. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 1D MII N Gallery & Canon 1D X Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you have to take into account its weight and size. The Canon 1D MII N has got external measurements of 156mm x 158mm x 80mm (6.1" x 6.2" x 3.1") and a weight of 1565 grams (3.45 lbs) while the Canon 1D X has specifications of 158mm x 164mm x 83mm (6.2" x 6.5" x 3.3") with a weight of 1340 grams (2.95 lbs).

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The photograph below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D MII N and 1D X.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1D MII N featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon 1D X will provide more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 1D MII N will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
