Sometimes, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D C and Fujifilm S3 Pro.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1D C featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 1D C will provide greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer 1D C will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
