The 1200D was announced 4 years later than the 7D and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1200D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon 7D being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the 1200D scores versus the 7D in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 1200D and Canon EOS 7D. The whole galleries are available at Canon 1200D Gallery and Canon 7D Gallery.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same exact resolution therefore you should expect comparable quality of pictures but you need to consider the production date of the cameras into account. The fresher 1200D is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
