Canon 400D vs Canon SD1400 IS Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 400D and SD1400 IS.
Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 400D using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon SD1400 IS will render extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 400D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
