Quite often, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The pic below may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MIII and 1Ds.
Plainly, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1D MIII due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Canon 1Ds will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer 1D MIII should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
