Canon 1D vs Nikon D4s Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is very tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D and D4s.
Clearly, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 1D using its smaller sensor will make getting bokeh harder and the Nikon D4s will result in greater detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged 1D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
