Normally, its tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by researching technical specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the T8i and D40X.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon T8i to provide you with greater detail having its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger T8i provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
