Sometimes, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes merely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1200D and K200D.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Canon 1200D to provide you with extra detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 1200D should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
