More often than not, it's difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MII N and Fujifilm HS35EXR.

To sum up, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 1D MII N featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm HS35EXR will deliver more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older 1D MII N is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
