Canon 1Ds MII vs Fujifilm IS Pro

Below, we are comparing the Canon 1Ds MII versus Fujifilm IS Pro, both Pro DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a substantial gap between the sensor resolutions of the 1Ds MII (17MP) and Fujifilm IS Pro (6MP) and the 1Ds MII (Full frame) and Fujifilm IS Pro (APS-C) come with totally different sensor measurements.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the 1Ds MII compared to the Fujifilm IS Pro.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1Ds MII and Fujifilm IS Pro is 50 and 55 respectively.

Typically, its hard to envision the difference between sensor sizes simply by reviewing specifications. The image here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 1Ds MII and Fujifilm IS Pro.

To sum up, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 1Ds MII because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon 1Ds MII will offer you greater detail due to its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 1Ds MII is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
