The 1D was introduced 11 years earlier than the 60Da and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1D being a Large SLR camera and the Canon 60Da being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before delving straight into a thorough comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 1D matches up against the 60Da in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Canon 1D vs Canon 60Da Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D and 60Da.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1D having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh simpler and the Canon 60Da will provide more detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older 1D will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
