Canon 90D vs Canon G11

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon 90D vs Canon G11, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both of them are sold by Canon. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and G11 (10MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and G11 (1/1.7") provide different sensor sizes.

The 90D was released 9 years later than the G11 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon G11 being a Compact camera.

Before getting into a thorough comparison, here is a concise summation of how the 90D grades against the G11 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 90D and Canon PowerShot G11. The complete galleries are available at Canon 90D Gallery and Canon G11 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions. The Canon 90D comes with outside measurements of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") with a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs) whilst the Canon G11 has measurements of 112mm x 76mm x 48mm (4.4" x 3.0" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 375 grams (0.83 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you select at that time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the 90D against the G11.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 90D and G11 is 60 and 83 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and G11.

As you can see, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 90D due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 90D will provide more detail as a result of its extra 23MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 90D should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
