Canon T8i vs Nikon P90

Below is a thorough assessment of the Canon T8i versus Nikon P90, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Canon and Nikon. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the T8i (24MP) and P90 (12MP) and the T8i (APS-C) and P90 (1/2.3") possess totally different sensor sizing.

The T8i was introduced 11 years later than the P90 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Canon T8i being a Compact SLR camera and the Nikon P90 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going through a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple summation of how the T8i matches up against the P90 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS Rebel T8i and Nikon Coolpix P90. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon T8i Gallery and Nikon P90 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you should factor in its weight and volume. The Canon T8i features outside measurements of 131mm x 103mm x 76mm (5.2" x 4.1" x 3.0") along with a weight of 515 grams (1.14 lbs) while the Nikon P90 has sizing of 114mm x 99mm x 83mm (4.5" x 3.9" x 3.3") along with a weight of 400 grams (0.88 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Following is the front view size comparison of the T8i and the P90.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the T8i and P90 is 67 and 70 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the T8i and P90.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The T8i using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon T8i will resolve greater detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer T8i is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
