Quite often, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 90D and K-5.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon 90D to produce more detail because of its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer 90D should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
