The 1D X II was introduced 15 years after the D1 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a short view of how the 1D X II matches up versus the D1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are employing at the time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the 1D X II against the D1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1D X II and D1 is 50 and 51 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The pic here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D X II and D1.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D X II with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon 1D X II will give greater detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer 1D X II should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
