The 400D due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon P510 will give you extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
