Generally, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The graphic below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the WB800F and H400.

All in all, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony H400 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The older WB800F is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
