Oftentimes, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D X II and Fujifilm IS Pro.

Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1D X II due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 1D X II will produce more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The newer 1D X II is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
