Normally, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by viewing specs. The photograph underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20Da and D30.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 20Da to render greater detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger 20Da provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
