Canon 1200D vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by going through specifications. The picture underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1200D and Quattro.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sigma Quattro to show extra detail due to its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 1200D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
