Nikon L110 vs Sony H400

Here, we are reviewing the Nikon L110 and Sony H400, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by competitors Nikon and Sony. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the L110 (12MP) and H400 (20MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The L110 was manufactured 5 years prior to the H400 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Nikon L110 being a Compact camera and the Sony H400 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go right into a detailed comparison, here is a simple overview of how the L110 grades against the H400 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L110 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400. The entire galleries are available at Nikon L110 Gallery and Sony H400 Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and proportions. The Nikon L110 provides external measurements of 109mm x 74mm x 78mm (4.3" x 2.9" x 3.1") along with a weight of 406 grams (0.90 lbs) whilst the Sony H400 has measurements of 130mm x 95mm x 122mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 4.8") along with a weight of 628 grams (1.38 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the L110 and the H400.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the L110 and H400 is 77 and 62 respectively.

Typically, its hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the L110 and H400.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H400 to provide greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The older L110 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
