Canon 20D vs Pentax K-7

Lets look more closely at the Canon 20D vs Pentax K-7, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Pentax. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the 20D (8MP) and K-7 (15MP) but they enjoy the same exact sensor sizing (APS-C).

The 20D was manufactured 5 years before the K-7 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before going in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise overview of how the 20D grades vs the K-7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 20D and Pentax K-7. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 20D Gallery and Pentax K-7 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera, you'll have to factor in its weight and volume. The Canon 20D has got outer dimensions of 144mm x 106mm x 72mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 2.8") with a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) whilst the Pentax K-7 has sizing of 131mm x 97mm x 73mm (5.2" x 3.8" x 2.9") with a weight of 750 grams (1.65 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are employing at that moment. Following is the front view physical size comparison of the 20D vs the K-7.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 20D and K-7 is 59 and 60 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through technical specs. The pic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 20D and K-7.

As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should expect to see the Pentax K-7 to give you greater detail due to its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 20D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
