Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The graphic below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the D2H and D3X.

As you can tell, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The D2H having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon D3X will show extra detail using its extra 21MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older D2H will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
