In many cases, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by reading a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5D MII and JZ500.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 5D MII using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 5D MII will deliver greater detail using its extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older 5D MII is going to be behind in sensor tech.
