Quite often, it is tough to see the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The photograph below might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the A3400 IS and A800.
All in all, each of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon A3400 IS to provide you with greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The newer A3400 IS will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
