Canon 400D vs Canon SL3

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon 400D versus Canon SL3, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras and they are both produced by Canon. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the 400D (10MP) and SL3 (24MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 400D was announced 13 years earlier than the SL3 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before delving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the 400D matches up versus the SL3 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 400D and Canon EOS Rebel SL3. The whole galleries are available at Canon 400D Gallery and Canon SL3 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry around your camera often, you need to think about its weight and measurements. The Canon 400D has got outer dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.6") along with a weight of 556 grams (1.23 lbs) while the Canon SL3 has proportions of 122mm x 93mm x 70mm (4.8" x 3.7" x 2.8") with a weight of 449 grams (0.99 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you select at that moment. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the 400D vs the SL3.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 400D and SL3 is 69 and 71 respectively.

Quite often, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through specs. The picture underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 400D and SL3.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon SL3 to provide you with more detail with its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged 400D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
