Canon 40D vs Canon 60Da

Below is a thorough analysis of the Canon 40D and Canon 60Da, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both of them are sold by Canon. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the 40D (10MP) and 60Da (18MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizing (APS-C).

The 40D was announced 5 years before the 60Da and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting through a full comparison, below is a brief summary of how the 40D grades against the 60Da in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 40D and Canon EOS 60Da. The whole galleries are available at Canon 40D Gallery and Canon 60Da Gallery.

For anyone who is going to lug around your camera, you will want to consider its weight and size. The Canon 40D has got exterior dimensions of 146mm x 108mm x 74mm (5.7" x 4.3" x 2.9") along with a weight of 822 grams (1.81 lbs) while the Canon 60Da has specifications of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") along with a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you select during that time. Below is the front view physical size comparison of the 40D vs the 60Da.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 40D and 60Da is 57 and 59 respectively.

Normally, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at specs. The graphic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 40D and 60Da.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon 60Da to give you more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 40D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
