The A1400 was announced 3 years later than the FE-47 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a in-depth comparison, below is a short view of how the A1400 matches up versus the FE-47 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by researching specifications. The graphic here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the A1400 and FE-47.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon A1400 to render extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer A1400 is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
