Canon 20D vs Canon G7 X MIII Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 20D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon G7 X MIII will render greater detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged 20D will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
