Quite often, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The picture underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D1 and D3S.
As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon D3S will resolve more detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged D1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
