The 1D MIV was manufactured 2 years later than the Fujifilm IS Pro and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before getting in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short highlight of how the 1D MIV scores versus the Fujifilm IS Pro for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS-1D Mark IV and Fujifilm FinePix IS Pro. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 1D MIV Gallery and Fujifilm IS Pro Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you'll need to factor in its weight and proportions.

More often than not, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D MIV and Fujifilm IS Pro.

As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1D MIV due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 1D MIV will result in extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 1D MIV provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
