The Fujifilm S2 Pro was launched 7 years prior to the S2 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Large SLR).

Before getting straight to a thorough comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the Fujifilm S2 Pro grades against the S2 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro and Leica S2. The complete galleries are available at Fujifilm S2 Pro Gallery and Leica S2 Gallery.

Typically, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S2 Pro and S2.

As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S2 Pro featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Leica S2 will produce more detail utilizing its extra 32 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2 Pro will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
