Canon 400D vs Canon 60D

Following is a in-depth review of the Canon 400D versus Canon 60D, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the other is a Advanced DSLR and they are both created by Canon. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the 400D (10MP) and 60D (18MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor size (APS-C).

The 400D was manufactured 5 years earlier than the 60D which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 400D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon 60D being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting straight to a complete comparison, here is a quick view of how the 400D grades vs the 60D for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 400D & Canon EOS 60D. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 400D Gallery & Canon 60D Gallery.

If you are looking to carry around your camera frequently, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are employing at the time. The following is a front view sizing comparison of the 400D against the 60D.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 400D and 60D is 69 and 59 respectively.

Normally, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specs. The image here will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 400D and 60D.

All in all, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon 60D to offer greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
