As you have seen, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony H400 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older FZ60 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
