Canon 4000D vs Canon T8i Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 4000D and T8i.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon T8i to produce extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older 4000D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
