Canon 1Ds MII vs Canon 750D

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon 1Ds MII and Canon 750D, former being a Pro DSLR while the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both created by Canon. There is a noticeable difference among the sensor resolutions of the 1Ds MII (17MP) and 750D (24MP) and the 1Ds MII (Full frame) and 750D (APS-C) enjoy different sensor size.

The 1Ds MII was revealed 10 years earlier than the 750D and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1Ds MII being a Large SLR camera and the Canon 750D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short summary of how the 1Ds MII grades vs the 750D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it can be difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1Ds MII and 750D.

As you have seen, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1Ds MII using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 750D will provide greater detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 1Ds MII will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
