Canon 90D vs Canon SX210 IS

The following is a extended review of the Canon 90D versus Canon SX210 IS, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are created by Canon. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and SX210 IS (14MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and SX210 IS (1/2.3") possess totally different sensor sizes.

The 90D was introduced 9 years after the SX210 IS which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX210 IS being a Compact camera.

Before going straight into a complete comparison, below is a short highlight of how the 90D scores against the SX210 IS with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 90D and Canon PowerShot SX210 IS. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 90D Gallery and Canon SX210 IS Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to travel with your camera regularly, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon 90D enjoys outer measurements of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") with a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs) and the Canon SX210 IS has sizing of 103mm x 61mm x 38mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.5") with a weight of 220 grams (0.49 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you select at the time. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the 90D and the SX210 IS.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the 90D and SX210 IS is 60 and 90 respectively.

Often, it is very difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The image here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and SX210 IS.

As you can see, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 90D using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 90D will offer you more detail using its extra 19MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern 90D will have a benefit in sensor tech.
