As you can tell, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 90D featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 90D will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 90D will have a benefit in sensor technology.
