Usually, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 4000D and R.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 4000D because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon R will offer you extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively.
