As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1D X III having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 1D X III will produce more detail because of its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger 1D X III should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
