Normally, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The graphic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D and WG-3 GPS.

To sum up, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1D featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Pentax WG-3 GPS will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older 1D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
