All in all, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 400D using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Nikon D810A will resolve greater detail because of its extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
