Canon 90D vs Olympus TG-870

Below is a in-depth comparison of the Canon 90D and Olympus TG-870, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Ultracompact by manufacturers Canon and Olympus. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and TG-870 (16MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and TG-870 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizing.

The 90D was manufactured 3 years later than the TG-870 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Olympus TG-870 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the 90D grades against the TG-870 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at that moment. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the 90D and the TG-870.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 90D and TG-870 is 60 and 91 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The photograph here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and TG-870.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 90D featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 90D will give greater detail due to its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern 90D is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
