10d vs. 1d MK11 vs. 1ds

Has anyone done the math on the SIZE of each pixel that each of these cameras utilize?

Thanks.

It gets a lot more complicated than just physical pixel size. Issues such as what percentage of the pixel is active and in the case of the 1DII, a new and improved micro lens technology make just comparing pixel size almost pointless.

I can't give you exact dimensions but from biggest pixel to smallest the camera line up looks like this:

1D, 1Ds, 1D MkII, 10D

Cheers!

Pixel size is an openly published specification for all EOS Digital SLRs. Here's the list:

EOS Digital Rebel, 10D and D60: 7.4 x 7.4 microns (6.3MP CMOS sensor)
EOS-1D Mark II: 8.2 x 8.2 microns (8.2MP CMOS sensor)
EOS-1Ds: 8.8 x 8.8 microns (11.1MP CMOS sensor)
EOS D30: 10.5 x 10.5 microns (3.11MP CMOS sensor)
EOS-1D: 11.5 x 11.5 micron (4.15MP CCD sensor)
