The 4000D was unveiled 3 years prior to the R5 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon 4000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon R5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a complete comparison, below is a brief summary of how the 4000D grades against the R5 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 4000D & Canon EOS R5. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 4000D Gallery & Canon R5 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera, you have to consider its weight and proportions.

In many cases, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor measurements just by viewing technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 4000D and R5.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 4000D using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon R5 will render more detail having an extra 27MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 4000D will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
