Canon 4000D vs Canon S100 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes simply by researching technical specs. The pic below will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 4000D and S100.

As you can tell, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 4000D using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 4000D will provide you with more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger 4000D will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
