To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1D because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 1D will deliver extra detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger 1D is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
