Canon 1D vs Nikon D2H Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions simply by looking at specifications. The pic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D and D2H.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide the same resolution but not the same sensor dimensions. The 1D uses the larger sensor which should make achieving shallower DOF simpler. The more aged 1D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
