Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sony HX200V and Sony H400 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony HX200V has external dimensions of 122 x 87 x 93 mm (4.8 x 3.43 x 3.66″) and weighs 583 g (1.29 lb / 20.56 oz) (including batteries). Sony H400 has external dimensions of 130 x 95 x 122 mm (5.1 x 3.74 x 4.81″) and weighs 628 g (1.38 lb / 22.15 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Sony HX200V and the Sony H400. Sony HX200V is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 8mm narrower, 8mm shorter and 29mm thinner than Sony H400.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Sony HX200V and Sony H400.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony HX200V and Sony H400.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX200V is 45g lighter than the Sony H400 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 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 HX200V and Sony H400's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Sony HX200V features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Sony H400 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to HX200V.
