Verdict
Pick the 1200D if you prioritize a lighter, more compact body and don’t need faster burst shooting. The 7D stays the better choice if you require 8 fps continuous shooting for action or sports, despite its heavier weight. Both deliver identical resolution, video specs, and sensor size at nearly the same price.
