Canon 90D vs Canon R6 II Overview
Its time to examine more in depth at the Canon 90D and Canon R6 II, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless and both of them are built by Canon. There is a crucial difference among the image resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and R6 II (24MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and R6 II (Full frame) use different sensor size.

The 90D was manufactured 4 years before the R6 II and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon R6 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.
Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise overview of how the 90D matches up versus the R6 II in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Canon 90D vs Canon R6 II Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching specifications. The visual here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 90D and R6 II.
To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 90D featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon 90D will render greater detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older 90D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
