Canon 90D vs Canon SX420 IS

Below is a in-depth assessment of the Canon 90D and Canon SX420 IS, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both manufactured by Canon. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and SX420 IS (20MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and SX420 IS (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 90D and SX420 IS.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 90D due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 90D will provide greater detail due to its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer 90D is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
