The Fujifilm S2 Pro was unveiled 4 years before the D2Xs and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before delving into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short summation of how the Fujifilm S2 Pro scores versus the D2Xs with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro and Nikon D2Xs. The full galleries are provided at Fujifilm S2 Pro Gallery and Nikon D2Xs Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry your camera, you're going to have to factor its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S2 Pro and D2Xs.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Nikon D2Xs to give you extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2 Pro is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
