Canon 90D vs Olympus E-300

Let's look more closely at the Canon 90D and Olympus E-300, both Advanced DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Olympus. There exists a big gap among the resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and E-300 (8MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and E-300 (Four Thirds) come with totally different sensor sizes.

The 90D was brought out 14 years after the E-300 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving through a detailed comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the 90D matches up against the E-300 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 90D and Olympus E-300. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 90D Gallery and Olympus E-300 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to travel with your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon 90D has got outer measurements of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") having a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs) and the Olympus E-300 has measurements of 147mm x 85mm x 64mm (5.8" x 3.3" x 2.5") and a weight of 624 grams (1.38 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have during that time. Following is the front view sizing comparison of the 90D compared to the E-300.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 90D and E-300 is 60 and 67 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 90D and E-300.

Clearly, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 90D featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 90D will show more detail having its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer 90D is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
