More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements just by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 400D and A450.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sony A450 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 400D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
