Canon 1200D vs Canon T7

Here is a detailed analysis of the Canon 1200D and Canon T7, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras and both are created by Canon. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the 1200D (18MP) and T7 (24MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 1200D was announced 5 years prior to the T7 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the 1200D grades vs the T7 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 1200D and Canon EOS Rebel T7. The whole galleries are available at Canon 1200D Gallery and Canon T7 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry your camera often, you need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 1200D offers external measurements of 130mm x 100mm x 78mm (5.1" x 3.9" x 3.1") having a weight of 480 grams (1.06 lbs) and the Canon T7 has proportions of 129mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.1" x 4.0" x 3.1") and a weight of 475 grams (1.05 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you choose at that time. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the 1200D and the T7.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 1200D and T7 is 68 and 68 respectively.

More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing merely by looking through technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 1200D and T7.

As you can tell, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon T7 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The older 1200D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
