Typically, its tough to see the gap between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D2X and D5.

As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The D2X featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon D5 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older D2X is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
