The EOS 90D is a DSLR that functions most reliably when used in live view, thanks to its excellent Dual Pixel AF system. Through-the-finder AF is less reliable, by comparison.

Those looking to document friends and family; Anyone seeking an easy-to-use DSLR than can seamlessly handle stills and video capture; Those planning to mostly shoot in live view.

Sports action and wildlife photographers requiring reliable through-the-finder autofocus.

Well built, reasonably fluid in use and festooned with plentiful control options, both in terms of physical buttons and its touch screen menus, the Canon EOS 90D is the very definition of a ‘comprehensive’ camera.

Advanced set of features; Relatively lightweight build; High-resolution imagery; High-ish capture speeds; Vari-angle touchscreen LCD

Pricey; Single SD card slot; Not much noticeable gain from 32MP resolution

The new standard bearer for the traditional DSLR – performance, usability and great image quality in one reasonably priced package

For those who continue to prefer the advantages of DSLRs over mirrorless – long battery life, good handling and a wide choice of native lenses – the Canon 90D is a fine choice.

Traditional controls and handling; Excellent battery life; Good all-rounder

No image stabilisation; DSLRs starting to feel outdated; Single memory card slot

At a glance Canon's latest enthusiast DSLR doesn't appear that different to the outgoing 80D. But with a large bump in resolution and burst shooting it's an altogether different beast.

Vari-angle screen is very useful; Capable autofocus system for still and moving subjects; Video capture is now 4K capable; High-resolution images are miles beyond casual cameras/phones

Single SD card slot; No in-body stabilisation; Autofocus points don't always illuminate; High resolution can mean caution when shooting any moving subject; Limited autofocus options in live view mode

If you're looking for a Digital SLR, then the Canon EOS 90D gives a range of compelling features, that make it a great choice. As a DSLR, rather than a mirrorless camera, it also offers exceptional battery life, with 1300 shots possible before the battery is depleted.

32mp APS-C CMOS sensor; 4K / FullHD video without crop; 10fps continuous shooting; High-image quality; Excellent colour reproduction; Excellent 1300 shot battery life; In-camera raw editing

Conservative design; Smaller buffer than expected; Focus options are hidden in custom settings; Shows weaknesses of kit lenses

“The Canon EOS 90D is a DSLR trying to fit in a mirrorless world, and it succeeds.”

Excellent speed; Dual Pixel Autofocus; Uncropped 4K; Comfortable design; Excellent battery life

Heavy; Small buffer; Tracking and eye AF struggles

The Canon EOS 90D is a solid option for those looking to step up to a full-featured DSLR without (totally) breaking the bank.

Good image quality, Fully articulated touch-screen LCD, Solid feature set, 4k video

Slow flash recycling in low light, Mediocre kit lens, Single card slot
