Canon 90D vs Olympus E-P5

Let's examine more in depth at the Canon 90D vs Olympus E-P5, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Olympus.

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 90D and E-P5.

Plainly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 90D with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 90D will produce extra detail with its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent 90D should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
