All in all, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon 1000D to render more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The newer 1000D is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
