To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 90D featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 90D will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more recent 90D should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
