Canon 1200D vs Canon N

Here is a extensive review of the Canon 1200D versus Canon N, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both of them are produced by Canon. There is a substantial difference between the image resolutions of the 1200D (18MP) and N (12MP) and the 1200D (APS-C) and N (1/2.3") use different sensor sizes.

The 1200D was introduced 14 months later than the N which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 1200D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon N being a Compact camera.

Before delving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short summary of how the 1200D matches up versus the N with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 1200D & Canon PowerShot N. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 1200D Gallery & Canon N Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to carry your camera, you have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are working with at the time. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the 1200D against the N.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the 1200D and N is 68 and 93 respectively.

Often, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1200D and N.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1200D using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 1200D will give you more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher 1200D should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
