Canon 1200D vs Canon R6 II

Here, we will be looking at the Canon 1200D versus Canon R6 II, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless and both of them are designed by Canon. There is a big difference between the resolutions of the 1200D (18MP) and R6 II (24MP) and the 1200D (APS-C) and R6 II (Full frame) offer different sensor sizing.

The 1200D was introduced 9 years before the R6 II which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 1200D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon R6 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a brief overview of how the 1200D grades versus the R6 II for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 1200D and R6 II.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1200D with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Canon R6 II will offer greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 1200D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
