Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by researching technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A330 and H400.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A330 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony H400 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older A330 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
