Fujifilm S1 Pro vs Nikon D2X Sensor Comparison

Often, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through technical specs. The visual below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1 Pro and D2X.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon D2X to provide extra detail due to its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1 Pro will be behind in sensor technology.
