Usually, its tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z400 and W550.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony W550 to give extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-Z400 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
