Canon EOS 20Da

The Canon EOS 20Da is a DSLR with a APS-C (Canon) sensor measuring 22.5 × 15.0 mm. Its crop factor is 1.60×, so a 50 mm lens frames like 80 mm on full frame. Every number below is calculated for this exact sensor.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.60 to get the full-frame field of view. For fixed-lens cameras use the real focal length printed on the lens (e.g. “6.1–18.3 mm”), not the 35 mm equivalent.

Depth of field table#

Total depth of field at each subject distance, using a circle of confusion of 18.8 µm (the 0.030 mm full-frame standard scaled by the crop factor). Detailed tables: 24 mm f/1.8, 24 mm f/2.8, 35 mm f/1.8, 35 mm f/2.8, 50 mm f/1.8, 50 mm f/2.8.

Equivalent aperture#

Exposure is identical at the same f-number on any format; equivalence only describes depth of field and total light.

Night-sky exposure limits#

Longest exposure before stars trail. The NPF rule accounts for pixel pitch and is stricter than the classic 500 rule — use it for pin-sharp stars on high-resolution sensors. (NPF needs a known resolution and is omitted here.)

9 mm (14 mm eq.)34.7 s

Handheld shutter speed guide#

The reciprocal rule uses the equivalent focal length. High-resolution sensors may need one stop faster than this for pixel-sharp results.

Lens#

The Canon EOS 20Da has a built-in, non-interchangeable lens. Use the real focal length of that lens with the tables above; its full-frame equivalent is that number × 1.60.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Canon EOS 20Da?

The Canon EOS 20Da has a crop factor of 1.60× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 27.0 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Canon EOS 20Da sensor?

22.5 × 15.0 mm (APS-C (Canon)), an area of 338 mm² — 39% of full frame.

Is the Canon EOS 20Da full frame?

No — its sensor is APS-C (Canon), which is 2.6× smaller in area than full frame.

How long can I expose the night sky with the Canon EOS 20Da?

With a 12 mm lens (19 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 26 s.
