The 400D was revealed 7 years earlier than the D5200 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Plainly, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon D5200 to deliver greater detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
