The 5DS R was introduced 5 years prior to the 90D and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the 5DS R grades vs the 90D in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 5DS R and Canon EOS 90D. The whole galleries are available at Canon 5DS R Gallery and Canon 90D Gallery.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the 5DS R against the 90D.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 5DS R and 90D is 55 and 60 respectively.

Normally, it's tough to see the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out specifications. The graphic here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 5DS R and 90D.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5DS R having a larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon 5DS R will produce greater detail using its extra 18MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older 5DS R will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
