Canon 750D vs Nikon D40X

Below, we will be analyzing the Canon 750D and Nikon D40X, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Nikon. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the 750D (24MP) and D40X (10MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The 750D was released 7 years later than the D40X and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the 750D matches up against the D40X in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 750d and Nikon D40X. The complete galleries are available at Canon 750D Gallery and Nikon D40X Gallery.

If you are intending to carry your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

In many cases, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 750D and D40X.

All in all, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon 750D to render greater detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 750D is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
