Usually, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specs. The picture underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the D2Hs and D4.

All in all, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The D2Hs due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Nikon D4 will produce extra detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged D2Hs will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
