As you have seen, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon 90D to offer greater detail having its extra 28 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The fresher 90D is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
