Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A4000 IS having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon A4000 IS will deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged A4000 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
