Canon EOS 90D vs Canon EOS R50
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Battery life (CIPA): the 90D leads at 1300 (at 23°C, AE 50%, FE 50%, LP-E6N) vs the R50's 440 shots (LCD) / 310 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C.
- Weight (body): the R50 leads at 375 g vs the 90D's 701 g.
- Resolution (MP): the 90D leads at 32.5 vs the R50's 24.2.
