Normally, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through technical specs. The picture underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SX220 HS and EX-ZR400.

As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Casio EX-ZR400 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged SX220 HS will be behind in sensor innovation.
