Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading specs. The visual here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the D20 and L1.

All in all, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The D20 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon D20 will deliver extra detail with its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern D20 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
