As you can tell, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Canon 90D to provide extra detail using its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent 90D will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
