Canon 20D vs Panasonic FZ47

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon 20D versus Panasonic FZ47, former is a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Canon and Panasonic. There exists a sizable gap among the image resolutions of the 20D (8MP) and FZ47 (12MP) and the 20D (APS-C) and FZ47 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor size.

The 20D was unveiled 7 years before the FZ47 which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon 20D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Panasonic FZ47 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 20D grades versus the FZ47 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 20D & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47. The full galleries are available at Canon 20D Gallery & Panasonic FZ47 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera frequently, you need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 20D has outside measurements of 144mm x 106mm x 72mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 2.8") having a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) while the Panasonic FZ47 has proportions of 120mm x 80mm x 92mm (4.7" x 3.1" x 3.6") along with a weight of 498 grams (1.10 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you use during that time. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the 20D versus the FZ47.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 20D and FZ47 is 59 and 68 respectively.

Normally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through specifications. The picture here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 20D and FZ47.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 20D having a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic FZ47 will show greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 20D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
