The 1D MIV was launched 7 years later than the 1Ds and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the 1D MIV grades versus the 1Ds in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS-1D Mark IV & Canon EOS-1Ds. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 1D MIV Gallery & Canon 1Ds Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and volume.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 1D MIV and 1Ds is 51 and 50 respectively.

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.
