As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1D MIV using its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Canon T8i will offer you greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older 1D MIV is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
