To sum up, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon 90D to produce extra detail having its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent 90D is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
