Often, its tough to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and H400.

As you can see, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony H400 to offer you more detail using its extra 6MP.
