To sum up, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1D with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 350D will provide greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older 1D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
