Canon 10D vs Canon 20Da Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and 20Da.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon 20Da to offer extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 10D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
