Normally, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading through technical specs. The pic here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the P950 and H400.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You can count on the Sony H400 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent P950 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
