Generally, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through specs. The visual underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and M5.

All in all, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon 90D to render extra detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent 90D is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
