Canon 1200D vs Canon T6 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it's tough to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1200D and T6.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size and the identical resolution therefore you can expect similar quality of files but you really should factor the launch date of the products into consideration. The older 1200D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
