Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 90D with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon R5 C will result in extra detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older 90D will be behind in sensor technology.
