Canon 1D vs Canon 1Ds Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The graphic underneath will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D and 1Ds.

Plainly, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1D having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon 1Ds will give you extra detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 1D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
