The D1H was manufactured 8 years prior to the D3X which is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before going into a more detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the D1H matches up vs the D3X in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D1H & Nikon D3X. The entire galleries are available at Nikon D1H Gallery & Nikon D3X Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and proportions.

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you have chosen at the time. Below is a front view measurement comparison of the D1H against the D3X.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D1H and D3X is 51 and 51 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes merely by researching technical specs. The pic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the D1H and D3X.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The D1H due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Nikon D3X will render greater detail due to its extra 22 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged D1H will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
