Canon 4000D vs Olympus E-400 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 4000D and E-400.

To sum up, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 4000D having a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 4000D will result in more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger 4000D will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
