Canon 1D vs Canon SD1400 IS

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Canon 1D versus Canon SD1400 IS, one being a Pro DSLR and the latter is a Ultracompact and both of them are created by Canon. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the 1D (4MP) and SD1400 IS (14MP) and the 1D (APS-H) and SD1400 IS (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizing.

The 1D was revealed 9 years prior to the SD1400 IS and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon 1D being a Large SLR camera and the Canon SD1400 IS being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting straight to a full comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the 1D grades against the SD1400 IS in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS-1D and Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 1D Gallery and Canon SD1400 IS Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions. The Canon 1D provides outside measurements of 156mm x 158mm x 80mm (6.1" x 6.2" x 3.1") with a weight of 1585 grams (3.49 lbs) whilst the Canon SD1400 IS has dimensions of 92mm x 56mm x 18mm (3.6" x 2.2" x 0.7") having a weight of 133 grams (0.29 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is a front view measurement comparison of the 1D and the SD1400 IS.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 1D and SD1400 IS is 50 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D and SD1400 IS.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1D using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon SD1400 IS will give more detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older 1D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
