Fujifilm S2 Pro vs Nikon D2X Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S2 Pro and D2X.

To sum up, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon D2X to give greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2 Pro is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
