Answer is yes, not too much, but definetly visible. I do have a S2. You can get the most out it, if you use RAW and the Fuji EX Software. Then the results are really stunning.

Ferenc Harmat has also done some impressive comparisons

First I apologize for adding to the seemingly endless realm of chat about both these cameras.
My question: Do the Fuji's larger interpolated files allow you to make larger prints, better than with the Canon 10D?
Thanks

I own both a D60 and an S2. (Actually the S2 is my wife's, who has a separate photo business but...) I agree with the first poster that the S2 interpolation is slightly better, but only very marginally. I've commented quite a bit on D60 vs. S2 on the Rob Galbraith forums, my overall conclusion: buy the one that makes you happy.
I think the D60 shoots faster, handles better, and produces the best image quality when the dynamic range is well under control.
I find it easier to get good skintone from the S2, and it seems to have a better dynamic range than the D60, although I haven't tested this rigorously.
How much interpolation you need depends on the medium; I've seen a 40x60 of a bride printed on photo paper with a hybrid printer that was shot with an S1 that looked as good as anything medium format ever did.
Reproduction on press requires more pixels, but I've sent D60 files which I upsampled about 30% (in Photoshop, 5% at a time) look perfect on press at full page size.
