Canon 1000D vs Nikon D3400 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Nikon D3400 to offer extra detail having its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged 1000D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
