Quite often, its tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S1 Pro and D2Xs.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon D2Xs to give you greater detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels.
