Canon 400D vs Canon 700D

The following is a comprehensive overview of the Canon 400D vs Canon 700D, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras and both of them are manufactured by Canon. There exists a large gap between the sensor resolutions of the 400D (10MP) and 700D (18MP) but they feature the exact same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 400D was manufactured 7 years before the 700D which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before diving in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the 400D grades against the 700D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 400D & Canon EOS 700D. The entire galleries are available at Canon 400D Gallery & Canon 700D Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera regularly, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Canon 400D has outer measurements of 127mm x 94mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.6") along with a weight of 556 grams (1.23 lbs) whilst the Canon 700D has measurements of 133mm x 100mm x 79mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.1") with a weight of 580 grams (1.28 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you select during that time. Following is the front view dimension comparison of the 400D compared to the 700D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 400D and 700D is 69 and 65 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing technical specs. The picture here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 400D and 700D.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Canon 700D to offer more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
