Verdict
Pick the Canon EOS 1200D if you prioritize higher resolution, modern video capabilities (1080p), or lighter weight, and don’t mind paying extra. The Nikon D90 stays the better choice if budget is tight, faster burst shooting (4.5 fps) matters more, or you can overlook its lower resolution and older video specs.
