Canon 20D vs Canon 80D

Following is a in depth analysis of the Canon 20D and Canon 80D, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and they are both produced by Canon. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the 20D (8MP) and 80D (24MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 20D was introduced 12 years before the 80D which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a brief summation of how the 20D matches up against the 80D in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 20D and Canon EOS 80D. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 20D Gallery and Canon 80D Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon 20D has got outer measurements of 144mm x 106mm x 72mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 2.8") with a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) whilst the Canon 80D has proportions of 139mm x 105mm x 79mm (5.5" x 4.1" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 730 grams (1.61 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you use during that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the 20D versus the 80D.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the 20D and 80D is 59 and 59 respectively.

Often, it is tough to see the gap between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The picture underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 20D and 80D.

All in all, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon 80D to offer extra detail using its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 20D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
