The 1D MIV was announced 5 years later than the D2Hs and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a brief summation of how the 1D MIV grades against the D2Hs in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS-1D Mark IV and Nikon D2Hs. The whole galleries are available at Canon 1D MIV Gallery and Nikon D2Hs Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to consider its weight and proportions.

Normally, its tough to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by checking specifications. The photograph below will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D MIV and D2Hs.

Plainly, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1D MIV with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon 1D MIV will resolve more detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent 1D MIV should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
