The D1H was announced 4 years earlier than the D2Hs and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Large SLR).

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the D1H scores versus the D2Hs in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D1H & Nikon D2Hs. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon D1H Gallery & Nikon D2Hs Gallery.

In many cases, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D1H and D2Hs.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon D2Hs to offer extra detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The older D1H is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
