Canon 4000D vs Samsung SL620 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 4000D and SL620.

As you have seen, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 4000D with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon 4000D will offer you greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent 4000D is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
