The 20D was released 22 months prior to the GX-10 making the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 20D matches up versus the GX-10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 20D and Samsung GX-10. The complete galleries are available at Canon 20D Gallery and Samsung GX-10 Gallery.

When you are aiming to carry your camera often, you should think about its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing specifications. The photograph here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20D and GX-10.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung GX-10 to show extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 20D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
