Canon 90D vs Canon R

Lets look more in depth at the Canon 90D versus Canon R, one is a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless and both are manufactured by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 90D (33MP) and the R (30MP) is relatively comparable but the 90D (APS-C) and R (Full frame) provide different sensor sizes.

The 90D was revealed 12 months after the R and they are of a similar generation. Both cameras have different body design with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the 90D scores versus the R with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS R. The full galleries are available at Canon 90D Gallery and Canon R Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to consider its weight and dimensions. The Canon 90D comes with exterior dimensions of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs) while the Canon R has dimensions of 136mm x 98mm x 84mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.3") along with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the 90D and the R.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the 90D and R is 60 and 62 respectively.

In many cases, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 90D and R.

Clearly, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 90D having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon 90D will produce greater detail because of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The fresher 90D provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
