Canon 20D vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by looking through technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 20D and Df.
As you can tell, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 20D with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Nikon Df will result in more detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older 20D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
