Canon 1200D vs Canon 750D Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing specs. The picture below should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 1200D and 750D.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can expect to see the Canon 750D to show more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 1200D will be behind in sensor technology.
