The H400 was announced 3 years later than the TX100V and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Sony H400 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony TX100V being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a short view of how the H400 matches up vs the TX100V with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V. The whole galleries are available at Sony H400 Gallery and Sony TX100V Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera often, you'll have to factor its weight and proportions.

Often, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the H400 and TX100V.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Sony H400 to produce more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger H400 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
