Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 20D and Samsung GX-1S. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 20D Gallery and Samsung GX-1S Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you'll need to consider its weight and proportions.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 20D to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged 20D is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
