Nikon D2Hs has a
4.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.5 mm ) sized JFET sensor . On the other hand, Nikon D2X has a
12.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Nikon D2X's sensor provides 8MP more than Nikon D2Hs's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the D2Hs and D2X sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Nikon D2Hs and Nikon D2X Cameras
Nikon D2Hs and Nikon D2X have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Nikon D2Hs
or the
Nikon D2X ,
including hyperfocal distance.
