Generally, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking technical specs. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WB150F and H400.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony H400 to give more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels.
