Re: New T5i vs old 400D , pics no better on T5i ?

Remember a camera is more than just a sensor. The differences in raw image quality between any APS-C Canon sensor are extremely minor.

When you buy a better body, you often get a better metering system, better AF system, better LCD, more frames per second, better jpg processing, and other additional features related to video, the flash system, remote triggering, etc. These are the things that help you get higher quality real-world shots.

So yes, it's normal for two raw images from different cameras with the same size sensor to look about the same in a test, but the differences in the other specs and features are what make the difference in the real world.
