Canon 20Da vs Canon 60D Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 20Da and 60D.

As you can see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon 60D to provide more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged 20Da will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
