All in all, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 90D due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 90D will render more detail utilizing its extra 21MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger 90D provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
