In many cases, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D MII and Fujifilm S5 Pro.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5D MII having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 5D MII will give greater detail because of its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger 5D MII will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
