Normally, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through specifications. The picture here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the H400 and W320.

To sum up, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony H400 to give you greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The younger H400 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
