Canon 1D MII N vs Nikon D2H

Below, we are reviewing the Canon 1D MII N and Nikon D2H, both Pro DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and Nikon. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the 1D MII N (8MP) and D2H (4MP) and the 1D MII N (APS-H) and D2H (APS-C) feature totally different sensor measurements.

The 1D MII N was brought out 21 months after the D2H making the cameras a generation away from one another. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before diving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a simple summation of how the 1D MII N matches up against the D2H in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1D Mark II N and Nikon D2H. The entire galleries are available at Canon 1D MII N Gallery and Nikon D2H Gallery.

If you are looking to carry around your camera frequently, you should take into account its weight and size.

Normally, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizes just by looking at specs. The pic here will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MII N and D2H.

All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1D MII N due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 1D MII N will give you greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher 1D MII N is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
