Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the A4000 IS and M530.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Canon A4000 IS to resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A4000 IS should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
