More often than not, its tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes merely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and H400.

Clearly, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Sony H400 to result in more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
