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.
