Dslr has a larger sensor so less noise but the G 9 is one of the best of 
bridge cameras and probably produces a better image then the D400.
The lens on the G9 will be better then the kit lens that comes with the
D400 
but then the D 400 can use Other lens both Wide and Longer That does mean 
that you could get dust on the sensor which will not happen with the G9.
In 
the end its down to what you are going to use it for. Not all of us fell a

need for a DSLR and a bag of lens(Especially at my age) Though I
personally 
would not go for the G9 It is Very good Quality. I did have a Casio 3000 
that was very much like the G1 Same lens and sensor ect. But I went for a 
Minolta 7hi then a Fuji 9600 rather then a dslr all the benefits and less 
weight to carry around
