Canon 90D vs Sony A7R

Its time to examine more in depth at the Canon 90D and Sony A7R, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Canon and Sony. The resolution of the 90D (33MP) and the A7R (36MP) is relatively comparable but the 90D (APS-C) and A7R (Full frame) use different sensor measurements.

The 90D was introduced 5 years later than the A7R and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 90D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony A7R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the 90D matches up against the A7R in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 90D and Sony Alpha A7R. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 90D Gallery and Sony A7R Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to lug around your camera, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 90D features outer measurements of 141mm x 105mm x 77mm (5.6" x 4.1" x 3.0") with a weight of 701 grams (1.55 lbs) while the Sony A7R has dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") having a weight of 465 grams (1.03 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Following is the front view physical size comparison of the 90D compared to the A7R.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 90D and A7R is 60 and 78 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The visual below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 90D and A7R.

To sum up, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 90D using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh tougher and the Sony A7R will produce extra detail using its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 90D provides a benefit in sensor technology.
