Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1200D and 1D MII N.

As you can see, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1200D with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Canon 1200D will offer you extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger 1200D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
