The Fujifilm S1 Pro was announced 9 years before the S2 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before getting in to a more detailed comparison, below is a concise summation of how the Fujifilm S1 Pro matches up against the S2 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro & Leica S2. The whole galleries are viewable at Fujifilm S1 Pro Gallery & Leica S2 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry your camera frequently, you need to consider its weight and size.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are using during that time. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the Fujifilm S1 Pro and the S2.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm S1 Pro and S2 is 56 and 52 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The visual here will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S1 Pro and S2.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S1 Pro using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Leica S2 will offer greater detail with its extra 35 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1 Pro is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
