The 20D was revealed 10 years prior to the Df and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go right into a full comparison, here is a short highlight of how the 20D matches up vs the Df in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

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

If you are going to carry your camera regularly, you should consider its weight and measurements.

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.
