Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The pic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the D1X and D2H.

Plainly, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon D1X to resolve more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged D1X is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
