Canon 20D vs Panasonic L10 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through specs. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 20D and L10.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 20D due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic L10 will render greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 20D will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
