Canon 90D vs Nikon Df

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Canon 90D vs Nikon Df, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by brands Canon and Nikon. There exists a sizeable gap between the resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and Df (16MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and Df (Full frame) boast totally different sensor sizing.

The 90D was introduced 5 years later than the Df and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the 90D scores versus the Df when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 90D and Nikon Df. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 90D Gallery and Nikon Df Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Typically, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 90D and Df.

As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 90D with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon 90D will deliver greater detail using its extra 17MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent 90D is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
