Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking specifications. The graphic here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX400 IS and WB700.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon SX400 IS to resolve more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The newer SX400 IS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
