Fujifilm IS Pro vs Nikon D3 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm IS Pro and D3.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm IS Pro due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon D3 will deliver more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm IS Pro is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
