Canon 40D vs Canon 6D MII Sensor Comparison
Normally, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 40D and 6D MII.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 40D featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon 6D MII will show more detail having its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older 40D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
