More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes simply by looking at specifications. The pic here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-5020 and H400.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony H400 to resolve more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-5020 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
