As you have seen, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sigma DP2s to produce more detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1 Pro will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
