Canon 20Da vs Canon 7D

Lets examine more closely at the Canon 20Da vs Canon 7D, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both of them are produced by Canon. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the 20Da (8MP) and 7D (18MP) but they feature the same exact sensor size (APS-C).

The 20Da was brought out 5 years before the 7D which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the 20Da scores vs the 7D with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 20Da and Canon EOS 7D. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 20Da Gallery and Canon 7D Gallery.

For those who are planning to travel with your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is the front view measurements comparison of the 20Da against the 7D.

Usually, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20Da and 7D.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon 7D to offer extra detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged 20Da is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
