Typically, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S1 Pro and DP2.

To sum up, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sigma DP2 to show extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1 Pro will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
