Normally, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by checking out specs. The picture here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MII and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

All in all, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1D MII using its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Canon 1D MII will show greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 1D MII will have an advantage in sensor tech.
