Canon 1Ds vs Canon M

Its time to look a little more in depth at the Canon 1Ds vs Canon M, one being a Pro DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and they are both sold by Canon. There is a significant difference among the resolutions of the 1Ds (11MP) and M (18MP) and the 1Ds (Full frame) and M (APS-C) enjoy different sensor measurements.

The 1Ds was released 10 years before the M and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Canon 1Ds being a Large SLR camera and the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a in depth comparison, below is a brief view of how the 1Ds scores vs the M in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1Ds and Canon EOS M. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 1Ds Gallery and Canon M Gallery.

In many cases, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by researching specs. The photograph here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1Ds and M.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1Ds because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon M will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older 1Ds will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
