Before going straight to a complete comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the 400D matches up vs the 450D in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 400D and Canon EOS 450D. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 400D Gallery and Canon 450D Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and volume.

Typically, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 400D and 450D.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon 450D to produce greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The older 400D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
