Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic LZ40 is significantly lighter (104g ) than the Sony H400 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 nor Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ40 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Sony H400 and Panasonic LZ40's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
