Canon 4000D vs Nikon D60 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes merely by seeing specifications. The image underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 4000D and D60.

To sum up, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon 4000D to provide greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more recent 4000D will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
