Canon 20D vs Nikon D500

Following is a thorough review of the Canon 20D versus Nikon D500, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and Nikon. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the 20D (8MP) and D500 (21MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 20D was revealed 12 years before the D500 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go straight into a full comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the 20D grades against the D500 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 20D and Nikon D500. The full galleries are available at Canon 20D Gallery and Nikon D500 Gallery.

If you're intending to carry around your camera, you'll have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading through specifications. The image underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20D and D500.

Plainly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon D500 to give you extra detail because of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 20D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
