Canon 90D vs Pentax K-30

Lets take a more detailed look at the Canon 90D and Pentax K-30, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by brands Canon and Pentax. There is a significant difference between the resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and K-30 (16MP) but they use the exact same sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 90D was manufactured 6 years after the K-30 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving straight into a complete comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 90D matches up versus the K-30 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 90D and Pentax K-30. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 90D Gallery and Pentax K-30 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by looking at specs. The picture below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and K-30.

All in all, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You should anticipate the Canon 90D to resolve extra detail due to its extra 17MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer 90D should have a benefit in sensor technology.
