Key Advantages

The H400 stands out with its exceptionally long 63x optical zoom, ideal for wildlife and sports photography. Its 20.1MP sensor ensures sharp image quality in daylight conditions. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization effectively minimizes blur from hand movements. The camera supports a simple user interface with automatic modes for beginners and manual modes for more control. Using AA batteries allows flexible power options worldwide. It also offers Full HD video recording, enhancing its versatility beyond still images.

Limitations

The sensor type, Super HAD CCD, is less sensitive in low-light scenarios compared to modern CMOS sensors, leading to more noise. Video recording is limited to 720p HD rather than full 1080p or 4K. The LCD resolution is modest at 230k dots, which can affect image review clarity. The use of AA batteries may add weight and require frequent replacement with intensive use. Autofocus speed and accuracy may be slower compared to newer models with advanced AF systems. The overall design is bulkier compared to compact cameras, affecting portability.
