As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S5 Pro using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon D4 will offer you greater detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S5 Pro is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
