As you can see, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 4000D because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 4000D will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher 4000D provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
