Usually, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S1 Pro and D6.

As you can see, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm S1 Pro featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon D6 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 18 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1 Pro will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
