Canon 90D vs Pentax WG-3

Let's examine more closely at the Canon 90D versus Pentax WG-3, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Waterproof by companies Canon and Pentax. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the 90D (33MP) and WG-3 (16MP) and the 90D (APS-C) and WG-3 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The 90D was unveiled 6 years later than the WG-3 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Pentax WG-3 being a Compact camera.

Before going in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the 90D matches up against the WG-3 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 90D and Pentax WG-3. The full galleries are provided at Canon 90D Gallery and Pentax WG-3 Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and size.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the 90D compared to the WG-3.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 90D and WG-3 is 60 and 90 respectively.

Typically, its tough to see the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 90D and WG-3.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 90D with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 90D will deliver greater detail having an extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 90D will have a benefit in sensor technology.
