Normally, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing only by reading through specifications. The graphic below may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 40D and 5DS R.
Plainly, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 40D due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon 5DS R will give extra detail due to its extra 41MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The older 40D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
