The 20D was manufactured 8 years earlier than the 60Da and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the 20D scores versus the 60Da with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 20D & Canon EOS 60Da. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 20D Gallery & Canon 60Da Gallery.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon 60Da to give you greater detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older 20D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
