A major issue with the 90D is that it’s an old camera but they are still asking for $1, 100 unlike the 80D that you can find for around $500.

The body redesign is worthy of note; the 90d feels amazing in the hand.

Have a 30/70/80D and recently this month acquired a new 90D on special, took awhile to decide comparing features between the 80 and 90,
What won me over
10fps
Higher iso
Focus bracketing
Exp compensation reset option when turning off!
Better resolution (I crop a lot as a bird photographer)
Better AF
Extra AF point
Higher in processing speed
Bluetooth
Better remote control via camera connect, wifi protocols are better and faster.
Better LV
A Joystick, on the 80D, that stupid irritating multi switch somehow moves focus points while adjusting Exp compensation👿
Better battery life
AE Lock works better on M mode, there a bug on the 80D (yes FW is the latest)
There are more items…..but you get the idea, I use camera function’s a lot
And my 90D came with a higher Firmware than on canon’s support page.

A higher ISO ceiling isn't really a con ... if you don't like the result, you simply don't shoot at that ISO. At worst, it's a neutral feature. A "pro" is demonstrated by the video: the noise performance at a given ISO is better in the 90d than the 80d. It's generally risky to push any APS-C beyond ISO 3200, so the upper range is fairly meaningless.

My 80D recently stopped working, the repair quote was more than double the cost of a good, used 80D. So I opted for a used 90D body as its replacement. It has a shutter count of 1000, looks like new. The first thing that struck me about the 90D was the general feel of the camera in your hands, it is far more ergonomic. The build quality feels more robust & shutter sounds are quieter. I have yet o use it out in the field, but impressed so far. $800 well spent, I hope (Repair for 80D was $750!!- Owch!).

I bought a second hand 80D a few years ago. I bought a new 90D in March of 2023. Having both now is very convenient on a shoot where I take both. Moving between them is seamless because they are so similar. I have them both set up the same way. So if you have an 80D I would recommend buying a 90D if you want or need a second camera.

The 90D does have Focus peaking in 120 fps

Just bought an 80D with a shutter count of 144. It is basically brand new and I am very pleased with it. At this time I cannot justify the expense of upgrading yet.

i dont use video.. only Portrait... so 80D

[Elmapachito]

Wow beautiful video bro ! Superb quality content! Keep it coming 🙏🏽❤️😊 subbed 👍🏼

[Mavi]

It’s a great camera, especially for those who don’t have the money to shell out for a higher pro level camera. This model has plenty of pro features and will still provide great photos. Great content. Not too many people provide good opinions of this camera.

[hamidrekibi]

Yes, I think upgrading to a 90D is a good idea to have almost 2 similar cameras. The difference of resolution in video filming will be unnoticed and this is a very important pro.
The other pro is the easier way to deal with settings and functions.

[reloadyourgun]

77D becuase you can buy a body for less than 300 bucks and its still very capable.

[Thephotosnatcher_]

I have both. I don’t think the sensor in the 90D is designed well for photography. Way too much digital noise rather than healthy grain. They squeezed 32MP in the small sensor. It’s a mistake. 80D is good, just need to spend a little harder on editing its RAWS because it’s falls apart very quickly, other then that it’s good to go for most people. Newer is not always better, depends of the person and usage

Just ordered my 90D
And it’s your fault
Awesome video, thanks

[guilhem]

It depends who you are. I am a casual photographer and none of what you enumarate as cons for the 80D justify the price difference between the 80 and the 90D. I bought a 80D for half the price of a 90D.

[showreelseafins]

The 90D has focus peaking when in manual focus.

[Bestone]

Great presentation, pls advice me best photo camera for wedding videography under 1200$, old or new one without overheating issue, pls reply.

[johncourt]

the 90D has better weather proofing than the 80D which for landscape photography is a pro
