The 1200D was released 12 months before the K-S2 and they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple summary of how the 1200D matches up vs the K-S2 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 1200D and Pentax K-S2. The complete galleries are available at Canon 1200D Gallery and Pentax K-S2 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry your camera, you are going to need to factor its weight and measurements.

Quite often, its tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by going over specs. The visual below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1200D and K-S2.

All in all, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Pentax K-S2 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older 1200D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
