Canon 400D vs Canon SL3 Sensor Comparison

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.
