Usually, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 1200D and Fujifilm X-A3.

As you can see, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Fujifilm X-A3 to render more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The older 1200D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
