Canon 300D vs Canon 4000D Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements just by looking through technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 300D and 4000D.

As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should expect the Canon 4000D to provide you with extra detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 300D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
