All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1Ds having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 1Ds will offer you extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 1Ds is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
