Canon 1D vs Fujifilm S2 Pro Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing specifications. The picture below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D and Fujifilm S2 Pro.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Fujifilm S2 Pro will show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged 1D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
