The A6300 was unveiled 24 months later than the H400 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Sony A6300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H400 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the A6300 matches up versus the H400 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Sony Alpha a6300 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400. The full galleries are available at Sony A6300 Gallery and Sony H400 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera, you have to think about its weight and measurements.

Typically, its hard to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The photograph below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the A6300 and H400.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A6300 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony A6300 will offer you extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A6300 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
