Nikon D1X has a
5.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Nikon D1H has a
3.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the D1X and D1H sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon D1X and Nikon D1H Cameras
Nikon D1X and Nikon D1H have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Nikon D1H has 125% larger pixel area (140.21µm 2 vs 62.26µm 2 ) compared to Nikon D1X, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon D1X
or the
Nikon D1H ,
including hyperfocal distance.
