Canon 5D vs Canon 90D

Here, we will be matching up the Canon 5D and Canon 90D, both Advanced DSLR cameras and they are both manufactured by Canon. There is a large difference among the image resolutions of the 5D (13MP) and 90D (33MP) and the 5D (Full frame) and 90D (APS-C) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The 5D was released 14 years before the 90D which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going straight to a in depth comparison, here is a concise overview of how the 5D scores vs the 90D for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 5D & Canon EOS 90D. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 5D Gallery & Canon 90D Gallery.

For those who are intending to travel with your camera regularly, you need to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon 5D comes with outer measurements of 152mm x 113mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.4" x 3.0") having a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) and the Canon 90D has dimensions of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") along with a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have attached at that moment. Following is a front view scale comparison of the 5D against the 90D.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the 5D and 90D is 55 and 60 respectively.

Generally, it is hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions purely by researching specs. The pic here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D and 90D.

All in all, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5D due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 90D will render more detail as a result of its extra 20MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged 5D will be behind in sensor technology.
