Verdict

The Canon EOS 90D is a versatile DSLR featuring a high-resolution 32.5MP APS-C CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 8 image processor, capable of 10 fps continuous shooting and uncropped 4K/30p video recording. Key strengths include its fast Dual Pixel CMOS AF with 5,481 selectable points, an expansive 45-point all cross-type phase-detection viewfinder system, and a robust, weather-sealed body with an articulating touchscreen. However, it is limited by a single UHS-II SD card slot and the lack of in-body image stabilisation (IBIS).
