Generally, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specs. The picture here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the A1400 and W650.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements and the same exact resolution so you should expect comparable quality of pictures although you will need to factor the release date  of the cameras into account. The newer A1400 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
