Design

The Canon EOS 90D has a rear control wheel lock lever that angles upward, so it won't get bumped when the camera is carried. The top and front dials are now knurled instead of ribbed, which gives a better grip. The stereo microphone input uses a single tiny hole on each side instead of four. The camera is 1.2 oz. (34g) lighter than the 80D. It also drops NFC and relies on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity.

Context

The Canon 90D replaces the 80D and has higher linear resolution than any other interchangeable-lens camera, DSLR or mirrorless, full-frame or APS-C. A full-frame camera would need 83MP to match its per-millimeter pixel density. It is considered one of the best birding cameras ever, since the high resolution and 10 FPS burst shooting leave plenty of room for cropping.

Market

The Canon EOS 90D launched at $1,199 for the body only and sells for about $950 used. It is praised as a well-rounded, highly capable camera with excellent color, tone, autofocus and handling.
