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.
