Canon 1D vs Nikon D2X

Below, we will be matching up the Canon 1D versus Nikon D2X, both Pro DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and Nikon. There is a significant difference between the sensor resolutions of the 1D (4MP) and D2X (12MP) and the 1D (APS-H) and D2X (APS-C) possess different sensor measurements.

The 1D was brought out 4 years earlier than the D2X which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before getting through a full comparison, below is a simple summation of how the 1D grades versus the D2X in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS-1D and Nikon D2X. The entire galleries are available at Canon 1D Gallery and Nikon D2X Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera, you'll have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon 1D features physical dimensions 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 Nikon D2X has dimensions of 158mm x 150mm x 86mm (6.2" x 5.9" x 3.4") having a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have at that moment. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the 1D vs the D2X.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the 1D and D2X is 50 and 51 respectively.

Often, it is hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The pic underneath will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D and D2X.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon D2X will offer more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 1D is going to be behind in sensor tech.
