Canon 20Da vs Panasonic L10

Let's examine more closely at the Canon 20Da versus Panasonic L10, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and Panasonic. The resolution of the 20Da (8MP) and the L10 (10MP) is pretty well matched but the 20Da (APS-C) and L10 (Four Thirds) use totally different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The 20Da was brought out 3 years prior to the L10 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the 20Da grades vs the L10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 20Da and Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 20Da Gallery and Panasonic L10 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera often, you will need to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon 20Da has got exterior 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 Panasonic L10 has measurements of 135mm x 96mm x 78mm (5.3" x 3.8" x 3.1") along with a weight of 556 grams (1.23 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is the front view measurements comparison of the 20Da versus the L10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 20Da and L10 is 59 and 66 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The visual below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 20Da and L10.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 20Da because of its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Panasonic L10 will give you greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older 20Da is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
