Canon 5D MIII vs Canon 90D

Let's look more in depth at the Canon 5D MIII vs Canon 90D, both Advanced DSLR cameras and they are both designed by Canon. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the 5D MIII (22MP) and 90D (33MP) and the 5D MIII (Full frame) and 90D (APS-C) provide totally different sensor measurements.

Photography Glossary

The 5D MIII was introduced 8 years earlier than the 90D which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief summary of how the 5D MIII matches up versus the 90D for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Canon EOS 90D. The whole galleries are available at Canon 5D MIII Gallery and Canon 90D Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Canon 5D MIII features external measurements of 152mm x 116mm x 76mm (6.0" x 4.6" x 3.0") along with a weight of 950 grams (2.09 lbs) while the Canon 90D has measurements of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") along with a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Following is a front view overall size comparison of the 5D MIII compared to the 90D.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 5D MIII and 90D is 55 and 60 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through technical specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D MIII and 90D.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 5D MIII having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 90D will show greater detail using its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged 5D MIII will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
