Canon 400D vs Canon T8i

Below, we will be looking at the Canon 400D and Canon T8i, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras and both of them are designed by Canon. There is a sizeable difference among the resolutions of the 400D (10MP) and T8i (24MP) but they feature the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The 400D was introduced 14 years earlier than the T8i which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before going in to a full comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the 400D grades versus the T8i in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 400D and Canon EOS Rebel T8i. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 400D Gallery and Canon T8i Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 400D offers outside 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) and the Canon T8i has dimensions of 131mm x 103mm x 76mm (5.2" x 4.1" x 3.0") along with a weight of 515 grams (1.14 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use during that time. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the 400D against the T8i.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the 400D and T8i is 69 and 67 respectively.

In many cases, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The pic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 400D and T8i.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon T8i to result in extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged 400D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
