Their verdict;

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. The ability to focus on a subjects face, while using the optical viewfinder, is incredibly useful for portraits. In-camera raw editing is easy to use and can produce some great results.

In fact, it's difficult to find many faults with the camera, however, there are a few: we struggled to take as many shots as Canon suggests is possible, when shooting continuously, and for those needing it, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II still offers more in this area. Another area that could be improved, is in the menus, as customising the focus options would definitely be easier if they were presented in the same as some other Canon DSLRs.

From the outside the EOS 90D may look just like every other Canon DSLR, with a conservative design, but inside is where the most of the differences can be found. Canon has developed a new 32mp APS-C CMOS sensor, yet don't seem to have been massively hit by increased noise, when compared to other Canon DSLRs. It offers a higher resolution sensor than others, and the 4K video using the full width of the sensor will be a massive positive for many.
