Clearly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The H400 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony H400 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger H400 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
