Often, it is tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions just by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 30D and 4000D.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 4000D to show greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 30D will be behind in sensor innovation.
