Canon 1D MIV vs Canon 1Ds Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements merely by looking through specs. The graphic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D MIV and 1Ds.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1D MIV featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon 1D MIV will provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger 1D MIV is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
