Canon 20Da vs Canon 6D MII

Below is a thorough analysis of the Canon 20Da and Canon 6D MII, both Advanced DSLR cameras and both of them are manufactured by Canon. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the 20Da (8MP) and 6D MII (26MP) and the 20Da (APS-C) and 6D MII (Full frame) feature totally different sensor size.

The 20Da was launched 13 years earlier than the 6D MII and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before going in to a in-depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the 20Da matches up versus the 6D MII for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 20Da and Canon EOS 6D Mark II. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 20Da Gallery and Canon 6D MII Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon 20Da offers external dimensions of 144mm x 106mm x 72mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 2.8") with a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) while the Canon 6D MII has proportions of 144mm x 111mm x 75mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 3.0") having a weight of 765 grams (1.69 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use at that moment. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the 20Da and the 6D MII.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 20Da and 6D MII is 59 and 59 respectively.

Typically, it can be hard to see the gap in sensor measurements simply by going through technical specs. The graphic here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 20Da and 6D MII.

As you can tell, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 20Da due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon 6D MII will provide extra detail utilizing its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older 20Da will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
