The 1D MII was launched 3 years later than the Fujifilm S1 Pro and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick summary of how the 1D MII grades versus the Fujifilm S1 Pro for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS-1D Mark II & Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro. The complete galleries are available at Canon 1D MII Gallery & Fujifilm S1 Pro Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to think about its weight and dimensions.

Normally, it is tough to see the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D MII and Fujifilm S1 Pro.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1D MII because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 1D MII will result in more detail utilizing its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher 1D MII is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
