The 1Ds was announced 7 years prior to the M320 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon 1Ds being a Large SLR camera and the Kodak M320 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go in to a detailed comparison, below is a brief summation of how the 1Ds matches up against the M320 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS-1Ds & Kodak EasyShare M320. The whole galleries are available at Canon 1Ds Gallery & Kodak M320 Gallery.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are working with during that time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the 1Ds versus the M320.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the 1Ds and M320 is 50 and 95 respectively.

Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1Ds and M320.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1Ds with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 1Ds will give you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older 1Ds is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
