Canon 1D MII vs Fujifilm S3 Pro Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by viewing specifications. The pic here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D MII and Fujifilm S3 Pro.
Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1D MII using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 1D MII will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged 1D MII will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
