Smart-Review Commentary: Canon’s 90D is a midrange entry with most of the power of higher cost Canon DSLRs with a lower cost and weight. For still photography, you get a big bump up in megapixels (32.5MP), the addition of 4K video (30p only), and a 120fps mode in Full HD. The 120fps mode has some limitations, as it has no sound, and AF is disabled. Canon though in this camera has dropped the 24p mode in both HD and 4K, for marketing reasons. We believe though that Magic Lantern will restore these 24p framerates in the future with their Canon 90D firmware. The 90D has Canon’s best Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology. Microphone & Headphone jacks provided for video sound recording.

The Canon Rebel 90D has a high resolution articulating touchscreen that allows you to point at subjects to focus on, allowing focus pull (in video mode) when you point to another subject to focus on. This is great for fast action and interviews where you can’t manually focus fast enough to follow the action. The newest Digic 8 processor speeds up the burst rate (10 fps), allows 4K video shooting, reduces shutter lag, increases ISO to 25600, and speeds up startup. The Built-in WiFi allows you to share photos, and even control your camera with a smartphone. Bluetooth replaces NFC to pair with smartphone. The 90D is an awesome camera for both pictures and HD video. This model is not only a SmartReview top pick, but has won our BEST of 2019 award for APS-C DSLRs.
