All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-400 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus E-400 will render extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively.
