Just got mine this week and love it. I’m not a pro but I wanted a good camera that was easy to use and setup. I also allowed something that I could grow with as my skills progressed. The Canon 90D works perfectly for me and the features should hold up for years to come for what I do.
Yeah, I have a Canon 90D and have had it a little over a year. I was frustrated with it at the beginning. I had a lot of trouble with nailing the focus. Today, I am more comfortable with it, and with the focus. I agree about the live view, using the LCD screen. I use it 70-90% of the time, really depends on the brightness of the day. I have found that my exposures and focus are way better with the live view/ LCD screen. Plus tracking is way much easier with the LCD. I want to upgrade and really wanted to buy the R7. A friend said to me the other day why? He was carrying The R7 and R6 on a photo shoot at the horse racetrack. I was with my 90D and was talking to him about the cameras we had. He felt that the 90D was the better performer over the R7. And yes, my 90D did very well in capturing the horses and riders. (Yay for the huge amount of practice with the 90D). I would still love to try out the R7. Now about the R6, I have shot with it as a loaner twice, love that camera, (thank you George's Camera!). My friend said to get the R5, (that I can not afford). But one day would still like a R6, but like my friend said, "save up for the R5". LOL! But the 90D is worth it as a DSLR, and it does have the capability of using a great many EF/EFS lenses. Great video!!! Thank you!! Edit: I agree with the opinions you gave in your video. I would keep my 90D and would buy another body (mirrorless) one day. I thought about your statement on buying another 90D as a replacement if needed. Very interesting, because it really makes sense if you have one already and need to replace it. I would hope also that Canon would still make it if that day ever came up. Thank you again.
Thanks you. I'm glad you liked it and thought it useful, it seems like we're on a similar journey with our photography. I suspect that Canon may make this longer than maybe some pundits are saying having looked at it's price point and the way it holds it's value on the second hand market.
Virtually all recently produced cameras give the same results, any advertised advantage is just hype, you just have to learn how to use all the features. In difficult focussing situations just manual focus to where you think the subject will be and use multi-shot settings. At least one photo should be right.
@@petercollins7848 especially as they all use pretty much the same sensors and technology. Ultimately it’s is down to the photographer ‘seeing’ the required image and capturing it.
I have not had any issues at all with the focus. The only lens that takes a bit of locking on is the 100-400 sigma which isn’t the fastest to focus anyway. With the 18-135 lens it is absolutely stunning and the tracking is superb (although I only use that a few times such as the Mach loop for aircraft)
I agree that the 90D is an excellent camera - I own one myself, and I´m over the moon with it - but I´m not sure I'd recommend it for a beginner. I learned on a Rebel 750D, a camera capable of taking superb images and a little more "forgiving" than the 90D.
I’ve had canon cameras for s as long time and made my through from their basic models. I think the 90d could be used by a beginner and allow someone to grow without the cost of an upgrade. Maybe that’s an idea for another video🤔
I learned on a Rebel XT, the very second gen of digital SLR that Canon had released. I shot so much and eventually taught myself to shoot entirely in Manual mode. My shutter eventually gave out after nearly 50,000 frames. I'm heavily considering the Canon 90D as a new camera to continue my photography
@nativewarrior5052 that would be a great upgrade. If you want to go mirrorless and the budget stretches possibly check out the R7 too although it will need the lens adapter for your existing EF lenses
Andy you're the man! Spoke to my soul, helped me settle. You commented on every inner-monologue I had about the camera. Big ups on the timestamps too mate, much love.
That is awesome and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. How are you finding the other videos on the channel? Are they useful as I’m always looking for feedback😊
I literally bought this model at the time this video was released and I'm watching it now for the first time. I've chose it over the mirrorless for the very same reasons you've mentioned. This is my first proper camera after 10 years of using the small SX150IS (which I still consider a very great small camera with top results if you know how to get the most of it) and had a very long thought about which path should I take and I'm not regreting my choice. The transition was far easier than I thought it would be and I am actually surprised how much I'm using the viewfinder instead of the screen even tho I was very used to take photos using only my sceen on the smaller camera. 90D is actually much easier to use and to take good phtotos with (I'm yet to use the video options more seriously). I'm looking forward in using the 90D in years to come even tho they will be dominated by the new and improved mirrorless cameras. I'm more comfortable with "less is more" as same as I was with my smaller camera since many people thought I took all those photographs with a DSLR. Cheers mate!
I agree with all of your main points. I truly believe that for photographers, the mirrorless trend is largely marketing hype. Unless you have an unlimited budget for a mirrorless FF with high end glass or if you just want a small one body, one lens walk around camera, you will almost always better served by a DSLR. Ignore all of the videographers and smaller is better amateurs on DPReview, and buy some quality pro Nikkors or Canon L glass and a DSLR.
I love my 90D after about 18months use. Started with a 350D, 400D, 600D, 650D, 70D and this will be my last Canon upgrade for the glass I have. Great 4k video, plenty of resolution, best bang for buck out there 👍
Well, you convinced me! Bought my 90D this week. Now I am retired from full-time work, I can finally upgrade from my trusty old Canon 400D. I like the feel and weight of a DSLR and the 90D gives me the advantages of a mirror-less camera without feeling not I am not using a too small of a camera. Plus, I can use all the lenses I currently have. I did my research and the 90D is great value!
That is awesome John and glad the video helped. I know for sure if my 90D broke tomorrow (I have been known to slip on waterfalls) I'd get the 90D again as imho it still provides the best value for money
Wow! Hell of an upgrade going from 400D. Also used it - was my first DSLR and also using 90D now. But I had 40D in between. You for sure will feel this upgrade. Especially low light handling. If memory serves me well, what was considered usable ISO on 400D is something completely different to what we have now in 90D.
Hi Andy, just subscribed to your site which I have found very informative. Just in the process of purchasing a 90D. Your video has now fully convinced me. Thanks Phill
That is awesome Phill, thanks for the sub, and glad the video helped. I really love my 90D and I'd love to hear how you get on. All the images on the channel are shot on the 90D and there will be loads more to come :-)
In full agreement. I'm planning to buy this camera. All my other cameras are Canon DSLRs and lenses are Canon EF lenses. I anticipate this camera to help me capture more exciting wildlife shots. Not interested in MILCs because, do not find compelling reasons to switch. Thank you for the video.
Superb choice Andy 👍 check out some of my other videos for any aspects you may be covering going forward and feel free to ask any questions you may have
I think Canon is making a big mistake in abandoning its SLRs. I will never opt for a device without a prism. The optical viewfinder has big advantages, as does the mechanical shutter. We must resist the bad marketing sirens, RF lenses are between 30 and 40% more expensive than EF, not to mention the crazy price of the bodies, even though they are cheaper to manufacture. Canon really takes us for pigeons. We must enter into resistance and continue to safeguard the existence of the reflex. Bravo for your courageous video, going against the grain and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
@@Hector_Malot i couldn’t agree more Hector. I haven’t seen a formal announcement yet about their dslrs but I could have missed it. Certainly the ef lenses seem to be better build quality than the equivalent rf
@@AndyHPhotography Canon is doing things in a sneaky way in order to give free rein to its new baby, to the detriment of his loyal historical customers. After the discontinuation of the 7D MkII (a marvel), the 6D, there will be no 5D MkV, the EF optical fleet is increasingly reduced (abandonment of the 24-70 2.8 F4L), etc. We must face the facts. I have a 5D Classic and a 7D mkii as well as other Canon film cameras. It's possible that I'll fall for a 5D mkIV... before it disappears from the catalog for good.
Great video. It reinforced my thoughts on my purchase of the 90D. I had the 70D and was having issues with bounce flash. If i did bounce flash the output dropped consideralble. Canon was of no help so i finally jumped on a used 90D and loved it bounce flssh works just fine. Then, i saw there was an update to the 70D software and updated it. Now, the bounce flash works. Passed that on to my son and grandson. They were happy to get it. Love the 90D get much sharper images. Still have plenty to learn. I've had the 40D, the 70D and now the best camera i'veever owned the 90D
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m so pleased you’re happy with the 90d and I bet it soon and grandson are also happy with their cameras too🙏😊
Some excellent points. I just upgraded from a 40D this year. I was looking at used cameras, so save some money. My wife pushed me instead to look at new, so I was seriously considering the 90D. My wife talked to a friend of hers, who happens to be a photographer, and was suddenly pushing me toward mirrorless. Ended up getting a refurbished R5 direct from Canon, and got a really good deal on it through one of the rebate sites that was offering 15% cash back at Canon at the time. I haven't had any major issues with battery life, although it is noticeably shorter than on my 40D. Of course, we also have to factor in that I'm now using a camera without a battery grip for the first time in 20 years - not quite ready to spend what Canon is asking for the grip. I definitely wouldn't mind picking up a 90D or similar as a backup someday, but I'm sure by the time I get to that point, the R7 II (or III) will be available.
I imagine that someone will continue to make them as long as there is demand, which I'm sure there will be. I was adamant that I would not go mirrorless - I love the optical viewfinder - but here I am. Then again, I was also adamant that I was going to stick with film and not go to digital, but things change and a chance to get a used 10D changed that somewhere around 16 years ago.
Upgraded from a 70D to the 90D and the greatest camera you can owned. It can do so much I have not scratched the surface and excels at concert photo's. Always discovering different setting to mess about with which gives me improved pictures. The video is superb and if you want to upgrade to something that is the ultimate, then this is the one to get. Matched with a 18-300 lens and great value especially as they want you to go mirrorless. Pick up a bargain and get the 90D.
@@AndyHPhotography Totally agree and thinking of getting another one when they are on sale to make way for the mirrorless ones. As good as any mirrorless camera and so easy to use. Good review BTW.
Great video. I’ve been out of photography for 15 years and boy how things have changed. Trying to make my mind up between this Cannon and the SonyA73 decisions decisions. It’s a tough choice but I’m leaning toward the cannon.
I love canon and have been using them for many years, both film and digital. Either way though whichever you choose you’ll get great results as both are superb camera brands. Check out some of my lens videos too if you get a chance as that may help you decide
@zozoa1 many thanks for your support. I try and make as many videos so can that aren’t too camera specific so hopefully they may be interesting if you choose Sony too. Tbh if i hadn’t used canon for so long i would now choose between them and Sony
I am a beginner - I just bought this last night. Mainly to take photos for my businesses but i am so excited now!! I want to learn everything now. Also extremely useful to have the list of equipment below especially for a newbie like me as i am in need of a few items!
the macro lens you have listed below is that the best option for tiny things like jewelry pieces ? or will the lens it comes with in the kit be suffice - i recently used my moms she has the 6 rebel and it ded alright with the lens it came with I originally wanted to purchase the rebel eight I think but then as I continue doing research I realize that for like $1000 more I can get a better camera and a better video so that's how I found myself purchasing the 90 d yesterday
Great choice Jessica and I how the list in the description helped. Also check out my videos on the equipment you need as a beginner as that may help. If you have any questions in any of the gear free to ask away 😊
If you get the 18-135 lens that should be fine for product images. I would recommend getting a light box (Amazon have them). I use it for some flower photography shed it is great. I’ll look up the link for the one I have tomorrow morning and drop it through but please remind me if I forget 😊
Hi Jessica, for product photography, this is the light box I have ... amzn.to/3ClsDQV This one is quite a good size, but I got a slightly smaller one (around 15in) but wish I'd got a slightly bigger one. The lighting in it is great and the backdrops are good too, although for multi colour I have a some Neewer lights which crate a more ambient effect (amzn.to/3J4KHSZ) Hopefully this helps 😊
@@AndyHPhotography I have a light box already haha - I went with newwer brand on amazon and i also went with the smaller one so I feel your pain also wish bigger and wished the same but i think mine is already 20 inches ill check out the other stufff down below i was more so looking for a macro lens to take photos of TINY jewelry forgive my awful grammar and punctuation right now OK cause I'm in a rush and I'm trying to get out of this place I'm at so I'm typing really fast basically I was buying the F the lens that comes with the camera already. Is that suffice? I didn't recommend going with a macro lens for even more detail. Forget the lighting. I already got that covered
I have taken identical photos, with the same lens using a 5D4 and a 7D2 and there is a noticeable difference in sharpness. If you look at serious assessment sites the resolution on a crop sensor body is significantly lower than full frame. I was considering an R7, or 90D [due to the cost] to replace my 7D2, which is very noisy. I decided to hold off as using the R5 in crop mode I have the same image, only 17+mp.
I have held off on any upgrade as the R5 body would need me to change my lenses as the crop factor provided a 17Mp image would also mean me changing lenses too (at least my EF-S lenses) My sigma lenses would be fine
That is a great couple of cameras, I still have my old 600D for backup although the OVF doesn't work due to me hitting it on a rock falling at a waterfall
I've been doing photography for just over 12 months now, currently i have a canon 2000d, its been great to learn on but I'm looking at upgrading it now, I've been looking at a 90d!! Seems a great camera to take the next step up with!
It would be an awesome step up. I used to have the 600d before the 90d. I’ve recently updated to the r7 after my cameras mishap. Check out those videos as I give some reasons why I now have the r7. The reasons may or may not apply to you
@@AndyHPhotographyI'll check out the R7 videos then Andy! I have been looking at R7 as well but for me and my current budget I'm swaying more to the 90d because I can get that body plus 2 lenses I need for the cost it would be just for the R7 and the RF adapter. I do also enjoy the optical view finder on the dslr compared to the mirrorless model.
@@RobHL6283 budget is definitely a factor. It was a very tough call when I had to pick between the two. The video is the one about my new camera on my channel 👍
I was thinking of selling my old 30D & lenses, to then buy a Canon M50 MKII, but now, maybe the 90D is the way to go for my vlogging future - I can keep my Canon lenses! Thanks for the vid 😁
This was my first canon camera. I love it, but it’s a little much for a beginner. I knew what I was getting myself into. Lol. It is the funnest camera to experiment with.
I purchased my 90D a week ago. I wanted to get one while they are still available. I currently have an 80D as well, but again, I wanted to update while I can. I'm not familiar with mirrorless camaras, I did also pick up an M200 looking at the future and a near pocket camera for when I travel on the motorcycle. Great review.
Coming from a T3I, ordered my 90D yesterday night. Should have it in 2 days. I use the 18-55 kit lens, 75-300mm & got myself a 50mm- f 1.8 yesterday. Can't believe the sharp images of the 50mm on the T3i. Super excited to use the 50mm & my other lenses on the 90D!
I just moved to a 90D in March. A few things about it. You must shoot using a higher shutter speed than with 3Ti. I’d go at least half again as fast as you are used to. The high pixel density of the sensor demands it. Some older lenses don’t have the resolution required to produce a sharp image. The sensor out resolves the lens. Some 90D users find it frustrating at first, but wth perseverance the 90D is an awesome camera.
I upgraded to the 90D from my Crown Graphic and I love what it can do. At almost $3. a shot just for the film my old girl was getting expensive and my Canon AE1 program is getting a little long in tooth. also. It is a great camera!
I am glad you like it, I love mine too. I still have a canon eos 5 which I may blow the dust off soon and get some film for old times sake. If I do I’ll drop a video on how I get on
I am looking to upgrade finally from my 80D, and really want this one. I love my 10-18mm for my youtube videos, and love the fact I can still use my lenses
Many thanks Richard🙏I couldn't agree more. I keep looking at Mirrorless and really cannot justify the bigger investment at this point for sure. The 90D imho remains the best value for money out there right now
im not a canon fan i clicked out of curiosity , you seem very inspired and that in its self is the Key to Photography , i have great photos from a 12mp Leica compact and printed them A3 no issues so as long as you inspired most cameras out there a good , there will always be critics and always someone that has something better . hmmm . and always new kit coming out that will have more features do you need them . generally No , i think maybe if i was in to fast moving stuff wildlife or motorsport maybe id buy a Canon . horses or courses as them say , right tool for the right job
Thank you, I hope my enthusiasm for photography comes through. I agree with you completely about getting the right gear for the job. Leica are great cameras and Lenses and had I not started on Canon when I shot film and slides, they would definitely be on my shortlist. I think in the rush to Mirrorless there is a tendency is the market for people to discount great cameras such as Leica and Canon DSLRs
I just upgraded to the 90D from the 40D and it's awesome. I still mis my Minolta XI film series that I still have. That was a hard switch just like mirrorless, but mabe someday.
Awesome. I’ll glad you like it and feel free to keep me posted on how you get on with it. I still love mine and use it for all the photos on my channel
Hi, I’ve stumbled down the rabbit hole of wanting to replace/upgrade my camera. I currently have a (now discontinued) canon 200d which was perfect for my first ever camera. Mainly used for video and some photography. Now I’m really , really REALLY needing some advice … deciding whether to go for canon 90d, canon mark 5d iv, or canon R7 . The R7 looks attractive to me because of : the autofocus capabilities and the newer technology that come with mirrorless , I’m scared because of not knowing how to use it compared to my traditional camera , I’m embarrassed to say I have only ever used auto on my camera but I’m going to learn how to use manual. Also slightly worried about the ‘overheating’ rumours/problems with mirrorless, but apparently shouldn’t be an issue if I don’t intend to do shoot 30min + .. I’m interested in the canon mark iv because it seemed EVERYONE thinks it’s a beast and amazing but then after research I saw it’s better primarily for photography AND it doesn’t have a flip out screen (a feature I currently have and love) and then obviously the 90d …. I think is a really really good option as it’s a step up (several steps) to what I have and probably the most familiar one I’d be used to .. just scared of thinking the R7 is more superior I think is my problem… would really appreciate your thoughts.
Hi, either of those would be an absolutely awesome upgrade from the 200D. I went from the 600d to the 90d before it fell in the river a couple of weeks ago. This has given me the opportunity to review my camera choice. I'll be doing a video on this as I have ordered the replacement this morning and, if you don't, mind I want to do a reveal video, but please feel free to drop me an email at andyhunt.photo@gmail.com and I'll let you know which one I chose and why :-)
Pleased I found your channel as this is reassuring for me because I have not long purchased a 90D ,when it stops raining I hope to get out and take wildlife photography with it ,Excellent video and have subbed ,Best wishes Graham
Massive thanks for your support Graham.. The 90D is an awesome camera and hopefully it'll stop raining soon (today was okay as I was scoping out a video location and it didn't rain once in North Wales for me, for a change 🤣)
@@AndyHPhotography Thanks Andy ,I did manage to get out with the camera for a few hours ,I still need to learn the best settings for Wildlife photography but getting there !
Go to RF mount and you have no third party lens options. Canon have stopped Samyang and Viltrox selling RF mount lenses. EF mount has plenty of choice.
That is a very good point. I use Sigma lenses alongside my Canon lenses on my 90D and to date I do not believe Sigma have released any RF mount lenses.
I love the 90d and mine recently fell in a stream and so was no more, so I had to recheck the market. It came down to the 90d vs the r7 too. This time I went for the r7 as I want to get into wildlife photography a bit more and the only major advance over the 90d is the subject focus tracking. Had I not wanted to do more wildlife I would have got the 90d again. If my 90d had not fallen in the stream I would not even have thought about changing it. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions as I’ve now used both
It’s a budget thing, wildlife is a big thing for me. But, able to use tracking in live mode is really good. My old 760d works ok, especially in live mode.
I used the tracking on the 90d quite a bit (mainly on our dog tbh) and it worked really well with the canon lenses. The R7 is quite a bit more money plus it needs the adaptor for any existing lenses. All of the images on my channel up to the R7 video were shot with the 90d and it is an awesome camera so you definitely would not be disappointed coming from the 760 (I originally upgraded from the 600d)
@@andyjgill5750 I found it really good. I used the nifty fifty and a sigma 30mm with low apertures in some situations like street photography but for landscape it was great. I do use a tripod a lot so could pretty much always use iso 100
such a great camera. I would like to be convinced to get a newer model, mirrorless etc, but so far it doesn’t seem to justify the price and hassle. love the90.
Me too Julio. I see no reason to upgrade from the 90d given its excellent specs and functionality. All the images on my channel are taken with the 90D and I’ll be doing a load more videos with it soon😊
Thanks for your kind words. If I was buying now, I would still go for the 90D based on price and that I already have EF lenses (I'm not sure if you already have any Canon lenses). Feel free to let me know which way you go and also check out some of my other videos as all of the images on my channel are shot with the 90D 😊
I have been using the D-90 for about months, I find it a huge upgrade on the750 I had used before. When looking at the Canon range the 90D it provided IMO the best value for money, like Andy I have no regrets. I find it to be both flexible and produces great photos ( not down to me, credit to the camera!). I would find it hard to part with, to be honest. Andy mentioned battery life I have never had to change a battery when out other than to use one to the point of exhaustion over several days out. Weight is not a problem if anything it provides a sure and confident grip given the larger body.
I am so glad you too are happy with it James. I’m finding that I’m not using the battery pack just as a more convenient charger when I need to charge the canon battery as it means I don’t need to carry around the canon charger
You're welcome. If budget allows, definitely go for the 90D. It's not just the pixel count but a whole raft of improvements in image processing, functions and video 👍 It may be worth checking my video on the 18-135 lens too as this is built for APS-C Canons
Thank you 😊 my go to everyday lens is the 18-135 which provides an amazing range ideal for most subjects. After that I love the 100-400. I think this is better than an ultra wide angle. Check out my videos on these and if you have any other questions feel free to drop them in the comments as I always respond to them
@@AndyHPhotography yes I’m torn between this and the R7 - I want to step up to Pro level (or at least be able to sell shots) and I’m running a 2000D which has been a great camera to start with but as you would expect lacks in most areas. I like the idea of the autofocus features and EVF as well as dual cards in case of failure for weddings etc. of the R7, I tend to shoot more action and moving subjects (horses) and to be honest the 90D looks like a great unit and you’ve got the lenses available which of course always helps. There’s a surprising amount to think about between the two given the pricing is similar.
That's a tricky choice and you can't go wrong with either as there are pros and cons of each. For me it would most likely still come down to the 90D as I have some EF lenses already and wouldn't want and adaptor in the way, not rebuy all of my lenses. I'll be intrigued to know which way you go. (If it helps, 99% of the images on my channel have been shot with the 90D and EF lenses)
@@AndyHPhotography thanks Andy, it is a big decision for me due to cost but I think I’ll be happy with either ultimately. The r7 with an EF adapter is going to be £300-£400 more so it’s whether it’s worth the extra for what I need. Thanks for replying!
I tried a Cannon M3 mirrorless and hated it. It's not the picture quality but the balance in my hand. With a modest 200mm lens it's so front heavy it's hard to use and, the smaller body is a real pain to grip. Try before you buy.
@@AndyHPhotography I'm an experienced amateur rather than a professional photographer so My Canon 1400D is about the best value for money there is. Just for fun I dig out my Pentax ME Film camera. I learnt on it 50 years ago so it's an old friend. I hope you own something similar.
@@MENSA.lady2 I learnt on a Zenit many years ago but don’t have it anymore. I do though still have a canon eos 5 which I may blow the dust off and get some film for 😊
Both good cameras. The 90D I think is better value for money than the R6 and R7, although going with either of those would open up the new range of lenses if you needed new lenses, but if you needed the adapter for all your current lenses, then I would still go for the 90D
I do mostly high school sports, particularly track and cross country. I'm trying to determine if the 90D would fit those requirements. It has fewer focal points than the Mark II, but then again, I never expanded the focal points that much anyway. My biggest concern is how it would perform in indoors, where the indoor lighting is oftentimes less than ideal.
The 90D is a lot of camera for the price even with basic affordable lenses. I've recently purchased an R7 as well, still learning its features but I feel the R7 just has too much for the average person. I'm an amateur and by no means actually claim to be a photographer, however in my experience the 90D was a great step up from my sub $400 panasonic and it provides some fantastic images. I purchased a 2x extender which wasn't actually any advantage, cropping the image gave about the same result.
This would be a great choice and if your budget allows also check out the R7. I upgraded from the 600d and it was a big step up. Check out some of my other videos where I use either the 90d or r7 😊
great video andy , was interesting to hear about the canon90d was intersting here it takes ef lens because i was thinking of getting a canon r but dont think the ef lenses are compatible unless you use a adopter to connect it
Defiantly will research this camera as well as it seems pretty good and eye tracking is one of the things I am interested in as well as the screen having the capability to be flipped 🙂
You need to consider that a 32mp sensor is equivalent to something like 80mp full frame. Than means that the sensor will outperform most normal lenses, even some L lenses, and the images may appear soft. That may be one reason why mirrorless do not get 100mp sensors, the manufacturers know what to expect.
There is a long list of lenses already tested and many proven to work with the 32MP APSC 90D. We just avoid buying/using those older lenses that have been shown to be not good enough for 32MP APSC sensors. (All the EF-S and EF lenes that I now already own, have been listed as good enough for 90D.)
@@AndyHPhotography I was thinking about getting one, only I have far too many bodies already, DSLR and mirrorless, in my pursuit of quality. 6, and lenses I had for work that I do not use much now. One recommendation I always suggest is do not be afraid of second hand or third party lenses, and always buy the best glass you can afford. I have countless stunning images taken on 3mp or 4mp bodies. You can pick up ex pro bodies like the Canon 1Dsiii for peanuts, or the 1D series which are H crop.
@@blisteringbooks2428 serving hands is always something I’ve shied away from but when or if I go mirrorless I’m going to take the second hand approach as I believe that the quality of the images ultimately is in the view of the photographer, not the tech. The tech can help capture it a but value for money the second hand market has some complete bargains out there
I´m looking into this to replace my aging 20d and also my 50D, but does the 90D support a vertikalgrip? Got big hands and really like the grip on there. + It´s better balance when using my 100 - 400 IS USM L lense. (gotta get that thing cleand, it´s getting on..) Great thoughts on the camera mate and I hope you´re doing good!
Many thanks David for your kind words. I love it with my 100-400 and I hope you can get yours cleaned okay. By vertical grip do you mean an L bracket? There are brackets available for this on Amazon. I have a link for the camera on the video description. I’ll see if I can add a link for the L bracket
I’ve not used one of those so not sure if they would work. I have 2 extra batteries which double as a power bank. The camera is so efficient I’ve only once had to charge a battery on a shoot 👍
Thank you John 🙏😊. It’s definitely it the upgrade. I came from the 600d (which is the U.K. equivalent of the t3i I think) and the jump up in every aspect is amazing. I use it for a lot of landscape and have the sigma 100-400 for wildlife and landscape. I also have the sigma 105 macro which I love but still getting used to. I’ve done videos on these and I plan on doing an updated video on the 105 over winter with some indoor macro.
@@AndyHPhotography Thank you so much for your response and noting your wildlife/landscape use. A video on macro photography in general would be awesome. Also, with your videos, the clear, not rushed, and not hyped up presentation is a very welcome reflect compared to other review videos on UA-cam. Thank you for that!
Hi Andy, i am looking to buy my first camera and wondered if you had any advice. Over the past few months I've been using a 1300d that someone lent me to get some experience with before i purchased my own. I am looking for a camera that is going to have longevity and the 90D certainly seems to be it. Since you made this video has your opinion changed or do you still believe that is has the specs to stay relevant for a while longer?
Hi, I currently think it still has longevity 😊 I recently had a scan thinking I may ‘upgrade’ but found I’d need to go all the way to an R5 to make it worthwhile technically but at nearly 4x the price
Good afternoon' Andhy look, I bought a camera like this and I'm lost, I don't know how to configure it, neither the videos nor the photos! which ISO OR FORMAT TO USE" can you help me with configurations please!
No problem, I can try. If you’re new to dslr cameras, initially start shooting in Av mode would be my recommendation with auto ISO until you get the hang of how to use it. If you have access to editing software then sit in RAW but if not start in jpeg so that you can get some decent images to start with 😊
@@AndyHPhotography Thank you very much for the recommendations! I really have almost two years with the camera! But because I don't know its use, I have more than saved, it would be very helpful if you can also give me other recommendations!
@@agtvbarbershop I would recommend using the info on the LCD and shooting in LIVE view mode most of the time. A lot of the features in LIVE View are not fully utilised using the OVF
I'm about to get myself Canon 50D for beggining and while looking for one online i stumbled across this vid. I'm happy to hear that Canon is still using the same mount with this one. I'm mostly interested in landskape photography so i'm wonderind which lenses do you recommend to buy that would be good for this type of photography and both cameras.
I would recommend the 18-135. This is my goto lens on a day to day basis. Then think about whether you want to go wider (10-18) or telephoto (100-400). Checkout my other videos as I have done one on the 10-18 and 100-400. I’m also happy to answer any questions you may have😊
Hi, I’m owning a Canon 550D and I’m a beginner I would say, but very interested in pet (cats) photography and landscape would Canon 90D be a good camera for that?
With Canon not producing DSLR cameras anymore, how much longer will they service the 90D? US Law says 7years from last sale of, but…I usually don’t switch or purchase a new camera unless it doesn’t work & repair cost is to high. I have seen some really quality wildlife photos from the Canon D-series cameras. Happy shooting.
That's a great question. The 90D can still be bought, but there will not be a DSLR upgrade/replacement as Canon move solely to mirrorless along with other manufacturers. It is still an awesome camera and at the moment I think offers much greater value for money than the new mirrorless ranges coming out. I have also noticed it is holding it's price on the secondhand market (at least here in the UK). I can't see myself switching unless mine actually breaks and they are no longer available
Thanks for the video. the board on my 70d is dying...$300 to replace. I am looking at the 90d instead of mirrorless; i can still use all my lenses and batteries with the 90d. I shoot real estate - 99% in live view but read that the live view in the 90d degrades over a short period of years. The 70d has never had an issue over 8 years or so. Could you share if you have found or have heard if this is a true issue with the 90d. Thanks again.
Hi Kirt, I’ve not heard of this problem before on the 90D. I’ve had mine for coming on 2 years and have had zero problems with live view andI tend to use live view for 95% of my images. I hope this helps.
Im thinking about buying this camera and some lenses to use as my main camera is it worth the heavy price tag and is the image quality worth the price will I get fantastic shots with this thank you PS I've been considering this for while and is this the camera for me
I would say definitely worth it. All of the images in my channel are shot with the 90d so please check those out if you have any doubts, but I love mine 😊
I’m confused 🫤 is it a DSLR or a mirrorless. Please excuse my ignorance I’m only learning about these. I have a canon 700d (first camera) and love it but it’s not compatible with my gimbal so I was thinking of upgrading to the 90d.
Hi, officially it's a dslr, but the 'live' view mode gives you effectively full mirrorless capabilities, including focus tracking and features you'd normally see on mirrorless. The only thing it lacks that a mirrorless camera has is the EVF as this is still an optical viewfinder on the 90D, but I use the screen 95%+ of the time giving me the full mirrorless features. I upgraded from the 650D which meant all of my lenses worked perfectly with the 90D.
Hi Andy. Great video regarding the 90d. Thanks man. I have the same camera, but I'm not that happy with it. May be I'm expecting too much. I mostly use the canon lens : 18-135 stm. Pictures are alright and sometimes nice. I am contemplating upgrading to the Canon 17-55 usm lens. Upgrading to a more expensive lens like this, in your humbled opinion. Would my images potentially be of better quality? Just don't want to be wasting money unnecessary.
Thank you for your kind words. I also use the 18-135 but the nano version. I used to have the old version of the lens and was happy with its overall performance. It could be something to do with the settings
Hi. Thanks for your response. I only use the flip out screen. Never the other. I'm not up there with the proper terminology. I hope you know what I mean. Regarding the lens. I have upgraded the lens. since watching this review. : 17-55, zoom. Also a 90mm fixed. Both Cannon. I am seeing a much better difference. Again ,thanks for your video. Best Wishes.
@@Berry_N Hay, Berry. Apologies I took so long to reply. Only just saw the comments. I do only really use the LV. Not given it much thought. I may have used the OVF, 2 or 3 times in about 2 and an half years. LOL.
@@AndyHPhotography Well, i bought the EOS R7, not only because i had RF lenses already, but just for the RF 800 F11 for example ("affordable" and the lightest, very stable handheld 800mm you can get) The R7 is basically a glorified, mirrorless 90D but the 4k fine, 1080p120, HDR PQ and clog3 option is a nice to have I also enjoy the 15 fps efcs for BIF for example, 30 fps electronic more or less useless except for stationary birds and lower SS to get a higher chance of a really sharp one. But i also mainly use EF lenses and the Meike Filter Adapter with 150-600, 17-55 2.8, 100 2.8 macro etc, except i want it really light or versatile, then RF. I thought also about the 90D, but coming from an RP going "down" to APS-C was already something i wanted to avoid, but no RF mount, no IBIS, no modern video/clog3 features were just too much downsides, also the R7s autofocus and tracking capabilities is something you really dont want to miss in 2023+, even the R7s autofocus is already outdated and by far not as sticky as the R6 II and R8 autofocus....
@@AndyHPhotography well the R8 release now was somewhat unexpected (and probably what i would have wanted as RP owner) But i tried the R6 once as upgrade to the RP and i was pretty much dissapointed and the R5 was definately over the budget but interesting.
I use ff lenses on the 90d with little issue. I notice a little bit of softness at the 400mm end of the sigma 100-400 but other than that have no problems
May 2024 is it still a good choice ? I only use it for street and urban photography, im consider eos 6d, eos r8, and this 90d , and now just confused which 1 that i should choose, i am a Fujifilm user for all this time and i love using sooc than the raw file
I think it is still worth it in 24 in terms of value. It may be worth checking out the R7 as that is the camera I upgraded to. Similar in price to the R8 but much higher spec than the 90d and I think better than the R8 in some ways. It’s a question of apsc versus full frame. All of the images in my videos since November 23 have used the R7. Feel free to keep me posted on which one you decide to get
I still use EF lenses using the adapter and there’s no loss in quality that I notice. With my sigma 100-400 I felt the autofocus was a bit slower but that’s just my feeling rather than any specific testing.
Thank you. It can do livestreams with the canon eos webcam Utility on a PC. I do not live stream with it but do use OBS to record for my videos. You may also need a capture card such as those made by Elgato.
I have a Canon 90D and I absolutely love it.. But I am often told I need a second body just in case I am on a shoot and something happens with my current camera. What would you recommend for a second body as it would seem foolish to have 2 of the same bodies?
@@RichieColemanSr I agree with that. You could save a few bucks and go with a 70D or 80D, but you should at lest keep in the same product line so the controls are identical, or nearly so.
I’ve not used autofocus during Timelapse as I’ve only done landscapes so far with no movement other than the sky. Having said that it kept the sea and sky in focus at so times. The autofocus definitely works brilliantly during macro as I use that with my 105 sigma lens. I hope this helps
I think if I was starting from scratch, Sony and Canon would be my top two with a look at Nikon too. I already had a series of EF lenses and so the Canon line was an easier decision. Take a look at my video on the end of my 90D and which camera I then moved to if you get a chance 😊
hi i love my canon 90d to say i actually have two of em now as my original i dropped it and got a mega panic on but hey it survived the drop and still works but i do sometimes use my second 90d too thanks
@@AndyHPhotography yes thanks i did a review other month on my tamron lens that i have for it and loving it i just use that lens for outdoor events and wildlife i dont use it for indoor live music as where i go for music it can get a bit rough u can check it out on my channel but also i might one day do a review on the canon 90d too but il see thanks Andy
Sorry to hear that. It must be a settings issue as all of the images in my channel are taken on my 90D. Are you on Vero by any chance? We can chat about it there 😊👍
Thanks for your help. Got another q, in the self timer mode an annoying yellow flashing light goes off during the time cycle. Is there any way to turn off this flashing light? thanks again, Kirt
@@AndyHPhotography thanks Sandy. I used to second all the time and wish there was a way to turn it off. Is it just an indicator light or is it actually measuring something? As in if I tape over it, will it inhibit some other monitoring process in the camera
Tnx, all professional photographers shut with ff..I started only one year ago, I love the 90d,beacause it's crop, everyone tell me I need a pro camera.
@@AndyHPhotography I think pound for pound. It’s one of the best. I know people get caught up on the crop - but I just can’t justify the extra money tbh ha. It’s done me well so far!
Definitely worth it. I love mine and will stick with it for a a long time. All of the images in my UA-cam are taken with the 90d and I do not see myself changing for a long time
I'm stuck between 2 cameras, I go to a bunch of airshows and whatnot and want to know which camera would be better Canon R10 or 90d? I currently have the Sl3 which with only 9 autofocus points is just awful for fast-flying jets... I do have a Canon EF 70-300 USM lens but I don't mind buying an adaptor if I need to.
I think the faster focusing on the r7 may be the best if budget allows. I’m not sure how fast the r10 is but the 90d would be great with that lens. I’ve found that ef lenses with the adapter are not slowed down so far in use
@@AndyHPhotographyalso you said the EF lens are not slowed down in use, are you saying there still good to operate or will using a EF lens with an adaptor cause more complications?
@directaviation2044 feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I did a video on Lightroom editing which was taken with the 90d in the Mach loop. If you want the link let me know so you can see what it was like
@@directaviation2044 they all work very well with the adapter on my r7. I’ll do a video on it but it’s a few weeks out yet as my r7 and the adapter are pretty new
For me it makes no difference. The only thing I noticed is that the sigma 100-400 gets a bit soft at 400mm, but that’s a full frame equivalent of 620+mm. I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any other questions. All of the images on my UA-cam have been taken with the 90D
That’s tricky for me to say as I’ve always used Canon. I can say through that I am more than happy with my decision to get the 90D and definitely have no regrets as it is an amazingly capable camera
![Дон ДОН, Алаудинов и СБЕЖАВШИЕ из под Курска ахматовцы 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dEfCf5IK26Q/mqdefault.jpg)
Just got mine this week and love it. I’m not a pro but I wanted a good camera that was easy to use and setup. I also allowed something that I could grow with as my skills progressed. The Canon 90D works perfectly for me and the features should hold up for years to come for what I do.
So glad you’re happy with it. I definitely loved mine and know it is a camera for growth with the level of spec it has and its capabilities
Yeah, I have a Canon 90D and have had it a little over a year. I was frustrated with it at the beginning. I had a lot of trouble with nailing the focus. Today, I am more comfortable with it, and with the focus. I agree about the live view, using the LCD screen. I use it 70-90% of the time, really depends on the brightness of the day. I have found that my exposures and focus are way better with the live view/ LCD screen. Plus tracking is way much easier with the LCD. I want to upgrade and really wanted to buy the R7. A friend said to me the other day why? He was carrying The R7 and R6 on a photo shoot at the horse racetrack. I was with my 90D and was talking to him about the cameras we had. He felt that the 90D was the better performer over the R7. And yes, my 90D did very well in capturing the horses and riders. (Yay for the huge amount of practice with the 90D). I would still love to try out the R7. Now about the R6, I have shot with it as a loaner twice, love that camera, (thank you George's Camera!). My friend said to get the R5, (that I can not afford). But one day would still like a R6, but like my friend said, "save up for the R5". LOL! But the 90D is worth it as a DSLR, and it does have the capability of using a great many EF/EFS lenses. Great video!!! Thank you!! Edit: I agree with the opinions you gave in your video. I would keep my 90D and would buy another body (mirrorless) one day. I thought about your statement on buying another 90D as a replacement if needed. Very interesting, because it really makes sense if you have one already and need to replace it. I would hope also that Canon would still make it if that day ever came up. Thank you again.
Thanks you. I'm glad you liked it and thought it useful, it seems like we're on a similar journey with our photography. I suspect that Canon may make this longer than maybe some pundits are saying having looked at it's price point and the way it holds it's value on the second hand market.
Virtually all recently produced cameras give the same results, any advertised advantage is just hype, you just have to learn how to use all the features. In difficult focussing situations just manual focus to where you think the subject will be and use multi-shot settings. At least one photo should be right.
@@petercollins7848 especially as they all use pretty much the same sensors and technology. Ultimately it’s is down to the photographer ‘seeing’ the required image and capturing it.
Hi, potential 90d owner here, would you mind clarifying what you said about nailing the focus.
I have not had any issues at all with the focus. The only lens that takes a bit of locking on is the 100-400 sigma which isn’t the fastest to focus anyway. With the 18-135 lens it is absolutely stunning and the tracking is superb (although I only use that a few times such as the Mach loop for aircraft)
I agree that the 90D is an excellent camera - I own one myself, and I´m over the moon with it - but I´m not sure I'd recommend it for a beginner. I learned on a Rebel 750D, a camera capable of taking superb images and a little more "forgiving" than the 90D.
I’ve had canon cameras for s as long time and made my through from their basic models. I think the 90d could be used by a beginner and allow someone to grow without the cost of an upgrade. Maybe that’s an idea for another video🤔
I learned on a Rebel XT, the very second gen of digital SLR that Canon had released. I shot so much and eventually taught myself to shoot entirely in Manual mode. My shutter eventually gave out after nearly 50,000 frames.
I'm heavily considering the Canon 90D as a new camera to continue my photography
@nativewarrior5052 that would be a great upgrade. If you want to go mirrorless and the budget stretches possibly check out the R7 too although it will need the lens adapter for your existing EF lenses
Andy you're the man! Spoke to my soul, helped me settle. You commented on every inner-monologue I had about the camera. Big ups on the timestamps too mate, much love.
Thank you and I’m glad it helped. Enjoy the camera and thank you for supporting the channel 😊
Please keep me posted on how you get on with it too if you get a chance 👍
You still loving it @wintermeme7092 ? ;-)
I bought the 90d after watching this video. My first good camera. I'm really enjoying learning photography with it. Great video.
That is awesome and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. How are you finding the other videos on the channel? Are they useful as I’m always looking for feedback😊
Just ordered my 90D as an upgrade to my Rebel T6, which really got me hooked on photography…Great video!
Great upgrade and thanks for the kind words 🙏😊
Same here I have a t6i. I want LCD screen and more pixels for not a lot money..
A camera is a camera is a camera --- but you still have to use it and go and explore ---- plus the EF mount is no joke!!!!!
Exactly. To me it’s all about being on location and practising to improve
I literally bought this model at the time this video was released and I'm watching it now for the first time. I've chose it over the mirrorless for the very same reasons you've mentioned. This is my first proper camera after 10 years of using the small SX150IS (which I still consider a very great small camera with top results if you know how to get the most of it) and had a very long thought about which path should I take and I'm not regreting my choice. The transition was far easier than I thought it would be and I am actually surprised how much I'm using the viewfinder instead of the screen even tho I was very used to take photos using only my sceen on the smaller camera. 90D is actually much easier to use and to take good phtotos with (I'm yet to use the video options more seriously). I'm looking forward in using the 90D in years to come even tho they will be dominated by the new and improved mirrorless cameras. I'm more comfortable with "less is more" as same as I was with my smaller camera since many people thought I took all those photographs with a DSLR. Cheers mate!
Thank you and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. Everyone I know that owns a 90D is so pleased with the decision
I agree with all of your main points. I truly believe that for photographers, the mirrorless trend is largely marketing hype. Unless you have an unlimited budget for a mirrorless FF with high end glass or if you just want a small one body, one lens walk around camera, you will almost always better served by a DSLR. Ignore all of the videographers and smaller is better amateurs on DPReview, and buy some quality pro Nikkors or Canon L glass and a DSLR.
Thanks Markus. I agree about the marketing hype and it seems to me also to be a reason to increase prices significantly.
I love my 90D after about 18months use.
Started with a 350D, 400D, 600D, 650D, 70D and this will be my last Canon upgrade for the glass I have.
Great 4k video, plenty of resolution, best bang for buck out there 👍
Glad to hear you love it too 😊 and an awesome upgrade path. I totally agree it’s the best value camera body out there right now 👍
Well, you convinced me! Bought my 90D this week. Now I am retired from full-time work, I can finally upgrade from my trusty old Canon 400D. I like the feel and weight of a DSLR and the 90D gives me the advantages of a mirror-less camera without feeling not I am not using a too small of a camera. Plus, I can use all the lenses I currently have. I did my research and the 90D is great value!
That is awesome John and glad the video helped. I know for sure if my 90D broke tomorrow (I have been known to slip on waterfalls) I'd get the 90D again as imho it still provides the best value for money
@@AndyHPhotography Thanks Andy, really enjoying and being inspired by your videos.
@@johnclone999 Thanks for your kind words John
Wow! Hell of an upgrade going from 400D. Also used it - was my first DSLR and also using 90D now. But I had 40D in between. You for sure will feel this upgrade. Especially low light handling. If memory serves me well, what was considered usable ISO on 400D is something completely different to what we have now in 90D.
Hi Andy, just subscribed to your site which I have found very informative. Just in the process of purchasing a 90D. Your video has now fully convinced me. Thanks Phill
That is awesome Phill, thanks for the sub, and glad the video helped. I really love my 90D and I'd love to hear how you get on. All the images on the channel are shot on the 90D and there will be loads more to come :-)
Thanks a lot for the clear words, fully agreed!
I just rediscover my old hobby, dug out my EOS 550D and now the D90 is on its way!
Wonderful times! 🙂
That is awesome. I upgraded to the 90d from a 600D and the step up is a big leap in terms of function and quality
Nice video. Comes across as totally honest. Thanks. I’m considering a 90D and your video helped.
Glad it helped Russell. Feel free to let me know how you get on😊
In full agreement. I'm planning to buy this camera. All my other cameras are Canon DSLRs and lenses are Canon EF lenses. I anticipate this camera to help me capture more exciting wildlife shots.
Not interested in MILCs because, do not find compelling reasons to switch.
Thank you for the video.
Great decision you won’t regret. Let me know how you get on with it 😊
Thanks Andy. Have just ordered the camera with a twin lens package to begin learning landscape photography. I enjoyed your review.
Superb choice Andy 👍 check out some of my other videos for any aspects you may be covering going forward and feel free to ask any questions you may have
I think Canon is making a big mistake in abandoning its SLRs. I will never opt for a device without a prism. The optical viewfinder has big advantages, as does the mechanical shutter. We must resist the bad marketing sirens, RF lenses are between 30 and 40% more expensive than EF, not to mention the crazy price of the bodies, even though they are cheaper to manufacture. Canon really takes us for pigeons. We must enter into resistance and continue to safeguard the existence of the reflex. Bravo for your courageous video, going against the grain and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
@@Hector_Malot i couldn’t agree more Hector. I haven’t seen a formal announcement yet about their dslrs but I could have missed it. Certainly the ef lenses seem to be better build quality than the equivalent rf
@@AndyHPhotography Canon is doing things in a sneaky way in order to give free rein to its new baby, to the detriment of his loyal historical customers. After the discontinuation of the 7D MkII (a marvel), the 6D, there will be no 5D MkV, the EF optical fleet is increasingly reduced (abandonment of the 24-70 2.8 F4L), etc. We must face the facts. I have a 5D Classic and a 7D mkii as well as other Canon film cameras. It's possible that I'll fall for a 5D mkIV... before it disappears from the catalog for good.
I have a friend with a 5d and he loves it. The saving grace is that there are so many ef lenses they’ll be around for a very long time
Great video. It reinforced my thoughts on my purchase of the 90D. I had the 70D and was having issues with bounce flash. If i did bounce flash the output dropped consideralble. Canon was of no help so i finally jumped on a used 90D and loved it bounce flssh works just fine. Then, i saw there was an update to the 70D software and updated it. Now, the bounce flash works. Passed that on to my son and grandson. They were happy to get it. Love the 90D get much sharper images. Still have plenty to learn. I've had the 40D, the 70D and now the best camera i'veever owned the 90D
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m so pleased you’re happy with the 90d and I bet it soon and grandson are also happy with their cameras too🙏😊
Some excellent points. I just upgraded from a 40D this year. I was looking at used cameras, so save some money. My wife pushed me instead to look at new, so I was seriously considering the 90D. My wife talked to a friend of hers, who happens to be a photographer, and was suddenly pushing me toward mirrorless. Ended up getting a refurbished R5 direct from Canon, and got a really good deal on it through one of the rebate sites that was offering 15% cash back at Canon at the time. I haven't had any major issues with battery life, although it is noticeably shorter than on my 40D. Of course, we also have to factor in that I'm now using a camera without a battery grip for the first time in 20 years - not quite ready to spend what Canon is asking for the grip. I definitely wouldn't mind picking up a 90D or similar as a backup someday, but I'm sure by the time I get to that point, the R7 II (or III) will be available.
Thanks Craig. It’s clear the manufacturers are pushing us to mirror less. It will be interesting to see how long they go on making DSLRs
I imagine that someone will continue to make them as long as there is demand, which I'm sure there will be. I was adamant that I would not go mirrorless - I love the optical viewfinder - but here I am. Then again, I was also adamant that I was going to stick with film and not go to digital, but things change and a chance to get a used 10D changed that somewhere around 16 years ago.
Upgraded from a 70D to the 90D and the greatest camera you can owned. It can do so much I have not scratched the surface and excels at concert photo's. Always discovering different setting to mess about with which gives me improved pictures. The video is superb and if you want to upgrade to something that is the ultimate, then this is the one to get. Matched with a 18-300 lens and great value especially as they want you to go mirrorless. Pick up a bargain and get the 90D.
I couldn’t agree more. It is still the best value for money camera out there at the moment
@@AndyHPhotography Totally agree and thinking of getting another one when they are on sale to make way for the mirrorless ones. As good as any mirrorless camera and so easy to use. Good review BTW.

Great video. I’ve been out of photography for 15 years and boy how things have changed. Trying to make my mind up between this Cannon and the SonyA73 decisions decisions. It’s a tough choice but I’m leaning toward the cannon.
I love canon and have been using them for many years, both film and digital. Either way though whichever you choose you’ll get great results as both are superb camera brands. Check out some of my lens videos too if you get a chance as that may help you decide
@@AndyHPhotography will do thank you you have a new sub.
@zozoa1 many thanks for your support. I try and make as many videos so can that aren’t too camera specific so hopefully they may be interesting if you choose Sony too. Tbh if i hadn’t used canon for so long i would now choose between them and Sony
I am a beginner - I just bought this last night. Mainly to take photos for my businesses but i am so excited now!! I want to learn everything now. Also extremely useful to have the list of equipment below especially for a newbie like me as i am in need of a few items!
the macro lens you have listed below is that the best option for tiny things like jewelry pieces ? or will the lens it comes with in the kit be suffice - i recently used my moms she has the 6 rebel and it ded alright with the lens it came with I originally wanted to purchase the rebel eight I think but then as I continue doing research I realize that for like $1000 more I can get a better camera and a better video so that's how I found myself purchasing the 90 d yesterday
Great choice Jessica and I how the list in the description helped. Also check out my videos on the equipment you need as a beginner as that may help. If you have any questions in any of the gear free to ask away 😊
If you get the 18-135 lens that should be fine for product images. I would recommend getting a light box (Amazon have them). I use it for some flower photography shed it is great. I’ll look up the link for the one I have tomorrow morning and drop it through but please remind me if I forget 😊
Hi Jessica, for product photography, this is the light box I have ... amzn.to/3ClsDQV
This one is quite a good size, but I got a slightly smaller one (around 15in) but wish I'd got a slightly bigger one. The lighting in it is great and the backdrops are good too, although for multi colour I have a some Neewer lights which crate a more ambient effect (amzn.to/3J4KHSZ)
Hopefully this helps 😊
@@AndyHPhotography I have a light box already haha - I went with newwer brand on amazon and i also went with the smaller one so I feel your pain also wish bigger and wished the same but i think mine is already 20 inches ill check out the other stufff down below i was more so looking for a macro lens to take photos of TINY jewelry forgive my awful grammar and punctuation right now OK cause I'm in a rush and I'm trying to get out of this place I'm at so I'm typing really fast basically I was buying the F the lens that comes with the camera already. Is that suffice? I didn't recommend going with a macro lens for even more detail. Forget the lighting. I already got that covered
I have taken identical photos, with the same lens using a 5D4 and a 7D2 and there is a noticeable difference in sharpness. If you look at serious assessment sites the resolution on a crop sensor body is significantly lower than full frame. I was considering an R7, or 90D [due to the cost] to replace my 7D2, which is very noisy. I decided to hold off as using the R5 in crop mode I have the same image, only 17+mp.
I have held off on any upgrade as the R5 body would need me to change my lenses as the crop factor provided a 17Mp image would also mean me changing lenses too (at least my EF-S lenses) My sigma lenses would be fine
Great information. I have just ordered a 90d as my first camera with the 18-135
That is awesome. You won’t regret getting the 90d. I also use the 18-135 as my main lens 😊
Great camera and lens👍🏾👍🏾
Agreed 😊
Another good thing with a 90D is because the are affordable & popular there's tutorials everywhere.
@@BrucieNZ it is definitely great value for money for sure compared with the new mirrorless ranges coming out
I love my 90D and I use my old 40D as a backup. It’s a great combination 📷📸
That is a great couple of cameras, I still have my old 600D for backup although the OVF doesn't work due to me hitting it on a rock falling at a waterfall
I've been doing photography for just over 12 months now, currently i have a canon 2000d, its been great to learn on but I'm looking at upgrading it now, I've been looking at a 90d!! Seems a great camera to take the next step up with!
It would be an awesome step up. I used to have the 600d before the 90d. I’ve recently updated to the r7 after my cameras mishap. Check out those videos as I give some reasons why I now have the r7. The reasons may or may not apply to you
@@AndyHPhotographyI'll check out the R7 videos then Andy!
I have been looking at R7 as well but for me and my current budget I'm swaying more to the 90d because I can get that body plus 2 lenses I need for the cost it would be just for the R7 and the RF adapter.
I do also enjoy the optical view finder on the dslr compared to the mirrorless model.
@@RobHL6283 budget is definitely a factor. It was a very tough call when I had to pick between the two. The video is the one about my new camera on my channel 👍
I was thinking of selling my old 30D & lenses, to then buy a Canon M50 MKII, but now, maybe the 90D is the way to go for my vlogging future - I can keep my Canon lenses! Thanks for the vid 😁
Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
This was my first canon camera. I love it, but it’s a little much for a beginner. I knew what I was getting myself into. Lol. It is the funnest camera to experiment with.
It is such a fun camera to learn on. I would still recommend it for beginners as it provides scope to grow as a photographer 👍
I purchased my 90D a week ago. I wanted to get one while they are still available. I currently have an 80D as well, but again, I wanted to update while I can. I'm not familiar with mirrorless camaras, I did also pick up an M200 looking at the future and a near pocket camera for when I travel on the motorcycle. Great review.
Many thanks Duane for it kind words. I hope you about your 90D as much as I do 😊
Coming from a T3I, ordered my 90D yesterday night. Should have it in 2 days. I use the 18-55 kit lens, 75-300mm & got myself a 50mm- f 1.8 yesterday. Can't believe the sharp images of the 50mm on the T3i. Super excited to use the 50mm & my other lenses on the 90D!
That is awesome. Great upgrade choice and a super selection of lenses😊
I’m also upgrading from a T3i to a 90d here very soon! And I use those 3 same lenses as well! Cheers to us!!
@@mattgarvey8765 awesome Matt. We could form the 90D club 😊
@@mattgarvey8765 Very likely, you will start ignoring your T3i soon. Have a wonderful time with your 90D!
I just moved to a 90D in March. A few things about it. You must shoot using a higher shutter speed than with 3Ti. I’d go at least half again as fast as you are used to. The high pixel density of the sensor demands it. Some older lenses don’t have the resolution required to produce a sharp image. The sensor out resolves the lens. Some 90D users find it frustrating at first, but wth perseverance the 90D is an awesome camera.
I upgraded to the 90D from my Crown Graphic and I love what it can do. At almost $3. a shot just for the film my old girl was getting expensive and my Canon AE1 program is getting a little long in tooth. also. It is a great camera!
I am glad you like it, I love mine too. I still have a canon eos 5 which I may blow the dust off soon and get some film for old times sake. If I do I’ll drop a video on how I get on
I am looking to upgrade finally from my 80D, and really want this one. I love my 10-18mm for my youtube videos, and love the fact I can still use my lenses
That is a great decision. I came from a 600d (which I broke slipping on a waterfall😂) and love the fact I can still use all of my lenses
THANK YOU MY FRIEND I AM DEFINITELY BUYING ONE WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.
Great choice John. Feel free to keep me posted on how you get on
Thanks. It helped me to decide over mirrorless. Canon 90D it will be my upgrade
Awesome. I’m so glad it helped. Feel free to keep me posted how on you get on with it
Great video Andy. DSLRs are still definitely relevant!!!😀😀😀
Many thanks Richard🙏I couldn't agree more. I keep looking at Mirrorless and really cannot justify the bigger investment at this point for sure. The 90D imho remains the best value for money out there right now
@@AndyHPhotography I use the OM1 which I really enjoy but still use my D500 which is a wonderful camera. I have done a few comparisons on my channel😀
@@RichardCookphotography nice, I’ve just subbed and will check it out later today 👍
im not a canon fan i clicked out of curiosity , you seem very inspired and that in its self is the Key to Photography , i have great photos from a 12mp Leica compact and printed them A3 no issues so as long as you inspired most cameras out there a good , there will always be critics and always someone that has something better . hmmm . and always new kit coming out that will have more features do you need them . generally No , i think maybe if i was in to fast moving stuff wildlife or motorsport maybe id buy a Canon . horses or courses as them say , right tool for the right job
Thank you, I hope my enthusiasm for photography comes through. I agree with you completely about getting the right gear for the job. Leica are great cameras and Lenses and had I not started on Canon when I shot film and slides, they would definitely be on my shortlist. I think in the rush to Mirrorless there is a tendency is the market for people to discount great cameras such as Leica and Canon DSLRs
Thanks for the video! Currently on the fence about upgrading from my 1200D to the 90D
Glad you liked it😊 I don’t think you would regret the upgrade, I upgraded from the 600d and it was worth every penny 👍
I just upgraded to the 90D from the 40D and it's awesome. I still mis my Minolta XI film series that I still have. That was a hard switch just like mirrorless, but mabe someday.
So happy you’re finding it awesome. Great purchase
I bought mine a few days ago and love it.
Awesome. I’ll glad you like it and feel free to keep me posted on how you get on with it. I still love mine and use it for all the photos on my channel

Thanks great video I am looking at getting a second camera
Thank you 🙏😊 You definitely can’t go wrong with the 90D
Hi, I’ve stumbled down the rabbit hole of wanting to replace/upgrade my camera. I currently have a (now discontinued) canon 200d which was perfect for my first ever camera. Mainly used for video and some photography. Now I’m really , really REALLY needing some advice … deciding whether to go for canon 90d, canon mark 5d iv, or canon R7 . The R7 looks attractive to me because of : the autofocus capabilities and the newer technology that come with mirrorless , I’m scared because of not knowing how to use it compared to my traditional camera , I’m embarrassed to say I have only ever used auto on my camera but I’m going to learn how to use manual. Also slightly worried about the ‘overheating’ rumours/problems with mirrorless, but apparently shouldn’t be an issue if I don’t intend to do shoot 30min + .. I’m interested in the canon mark iv because it seemed EVERYONE thinks it’s a beast and amazing but then after research I saw it’s better primarily for photography AND it doesn’t have a flip out screen (a feature I currently have and love) and then obviously the 90d …. I think is a really really good option as it’s a step up (several steps) to what I have and probably the most familiar one I’d be used to .. just scared of thinking the R7 is more superior I think is my problem… would really appreciate your thoughts.
Hi, either of those would be an absolutely awesome upgrade from the 200D. I went from the 600d to the 90d before it fell in the river a couple of weeks ago. This has given me the opportunity to review my camera choice. I'll be doing a video on this as I have ordered the replacement this morning and, if you don't, mind I want to do a reveal video, but please feel free to drop me an email at andyhunt.photo@gmail.com and I'll let you know which one I chose and why :-)
Pleased I found your channel as this is reassuring for me because I have not long purchased a 90D ,when it stops raining I hope to get out and take wildlife photography with it ,Excellent video and have subbed ,Best wishes Graham
Massive thanks for your support Graham.. The 90D is an awesome camera and hopefully it'll stop raining soon (today was okay as I was scoping out a video location and it didn't rain once in North Wales for me, for a change 🤣)

@@AndyHPhotography That's very kind 🙂
@@AndyHPhotography Thanks Andy ,I did manage to get out with the camera for a few hours ,I still need to learn the best settings for Wildlife photography but getting there !
Go to RF mount and you have no third party lens options. Canon have stopped Samyang and Viltrox selling RF mount lenses. EF mount has plenty of choice.
That is a very good point. I use Sigma lenses alongside my Canon lenses on my 90D and to date I do not believe Sigma have released any RF mount lenses.
fantastic review Andy terrific congratulations
Massive thanks for your kind words Alvaro 🙏😊
Very informative, was looking at 90d vs R7. Your video confirms my 90d choice! Thanks
I love the 90d and mine recently fell in a stream and so was no more, so I had to recheck the market. It came down to the 90d vs the r7 too. This time I went for the r7 as I want to get into wildlife photography a bit more and the only major advance over the 90d is the subject focus tracking. Had I not wanted to do more wildlife I would have got the 90d again. If my 90d had not fallen in the stream I would not even have thought about changing it. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions as I’ve now used both
It’s a budget thing, wildlife is a big thing for me. But, able to use tracking in live mode is really good. My old 760d works ok, especially in live mode.
I used the tracking on the 90d quite a bit (mainly on our dog tbh) and it worked really well with the canon lenses. The R7 is quite a bit more money plus it needs the adaptor for any existing lenses. All of the images on my channel up to the R7 video were shot with the 90d and it is an awesome camera so you definitely would not be disappointed coming from the 760 (I originally upgraded from the 600d)
Cheers, will follow with interest. I mainly shoot landscape, but love wildlife. How is the 90d in low light?
@@andyjgill5750 I found it really good. I used the nifty fifty and a sigma 30mm with low apertures in some situations like street photography but for landscape it was great. I do use a tripod a lot so could pretty much always use iso 100
I love my 90D, still! Love the video Mr. H!
Many thanks David and I’m glad you liked the video. Like you, I love my 90d 😊
such a great camera. I would like to be convinced to get a newer model, mirrorless etc, but so far it doesn’t seem to justify the price and hassle. love the90.
Me too Julio. I see no reason to upgrade from the 90d given its excellent specs and functionality. All the images on my channel are taken with the 90D and I’ll be doing a load more videos with it soon😊
This was a really interesting video, thank you. I'm going back and forth between the Canon 90D and the R7. I'm leaning more towards the 90D.
Thanks for your kind words. If I was buying now, I would still go for the 90D based on price and that I already have EF lenses (I'm not sure if you already have any Canon lenses). Feel free to let me know which way you go and also check out some of my other videos as all of the images on my channel are shot with the 90D 😊
@@AndyHPhotography I will, thank you very much. I'll definitely watch some of your other videos!

I brought one of these canon 90D recently
@@ShademanIrvani great purchase. What do you think of it?
Very helpful video, thank you Andy!
Glad you found it useful 😊
I have been using the D-90 for about months, I find it a huge upgrade on the750 I had used before. When looking at the Canon range the 90D it provided IMO the best value for money, like Andy I have no regrets. I find it to be both flexible and produces great photos ( not down to me, credit to the camera!). I would find it hard to part with, to be honest. Andy mentioned battery life I have never had to change a battery when out other than to use one to the point of exhaustion over several days out. Weight is not a problem if anything it provides a sure and confident grip given the larger body.
I am so glad you too are happy with it James. I’m finding that I’m not using the battery pack just as a more convenient charger when I need to charge the canon battery as it means I don’t need to carry around the canon charger
I, too, upgraded from the 750D, which still think of as a great camera. As for your comments on the 90D, I couldn't agree more.
Thank you. I love the 90d and all of the images in the UA-cam channel are taken using it 😊
Thanks for the video, was prepared to buy the 80D. The 90D has way more pixels...
You're welcome. If budget allows, definitely go for the 90D. It's not just the pixel count but a whole raft of improvements in image processing, functions and video 👍
It may be worth checking my video on the 18-135 lens too as this is built for APS-C Canons
Great video thanks, what is your favorite lens for landscape photography on the 90D.
Thank you 😊 my go to everyday lens is the 18-135 which provides an amazing range ideal for most subjects. After that I love the 100-400. I think this is better than an ultra wide angle. Check out my videos on these and if you have any other questions feel free to drop them in the comments as I always respond to them
Very helpful video thanks!
Glad it was useful John. Is this a camera you're thinking of getting?
@@AndyHPhotography yes I’m torn between this and the R7 - I want to step up to Pro level (or at least be able to sell shots) and I’m running a 2000D which has been a great camera to start with but as you would expect lacks in most areas. I like the idea of the autofocus features and EVF as well as dual cards in case of failure for weddings etc. of the R7, I tend to shoot more action and moving subjects (horses) and to be honest the 90D looks like a great unit and you’ve got the lenses available which of course always helps. There’s a surprising amount to think about between the two given the pricing is similar.
That's a tricky choice and you can't go wrong with either as there are pros and cons of each. For me it would most likely still come down to the 90D as I have some EF lenses already and wouldn't want and adaptor in the way, not rebuy all of my lenses. I'll be intrigued to know which way you go. (If it helps, 99% of the images on my channel have been shot with the 90D and EF lenses)
@@AndyHPhotography thanks Andy, it is a big decision for me due to cost but I think I’ll be happy with either ultimately. The r7 with an EF adapter is going to be £300-£400 more so it’s whether it’s worth the extra for what I need. Thanks for replying!
You're welcome. Let me know if you have any Q's on the 90D
Thank you for a brilliant review.
Thank you Rochelle for your positive feedback😊🙏 I’m glad you found it useful
I have 2 of them and really like it over my ,80D
They are awesome. I would definitely get a second if I needed more than one body
I tried a Cannon M3 mirrorless and hated it. It's not the picture quality but the balance in my hand. With a modest 200mm lens it's so front heavy it's hard to use and, the smaller body is a real pain to grip. Try before you buy.
I think that is one of the challenges of the smaller mirrorless cameras. They’re just not balanced with the lenses
@@AndyHPhotography I'm an experienced amateur rather than a professional photographer so My Canon 1400D is about the best value for money there is. Just for fun I dig out my Pentax ME Film camera. I learnt on it 50 years ago so it's an old friend. I hope you own something similar.
@@MENSA.lady2 I learnt on a Zenit many years ago but don’t have it anymore. I do though still have a canon eos 5 which I may blow the dust off and get some film for 😊
@@AndyHPhotography Don't part with an old friend. It may come in useful one day.
I'm looking to upgrade from the 7D Mark II and I'm considering either this or going mirrorless. Just seeing if this camera is, in fact, an upgrade.
I think it would be an upgrade. Which mirrorless were you thinking of?
@@AndyHPhotography I had been looking at the R7, and possibly the R6. Either way, I'd need an adapter to fit my EF lenses.
Both good cameras. The 90D I think is better value for money than the R6 and R7, although going with either of those would open up the new range of lenses if you needed new lenses, but if you needed the adapter for all your current lenses, then I would still go for the 90D
I do mostly high school sports, particularly track and cross country. I'm trying to determine if the 90D would fit those requirements. It has fewer focal points than the Mark II, but then again, I never expanded the focal points that much anyway. My biggest concern is how it would perform in indoors, where the indoor lighting is oftentimes less than ideal.
@@AndyHPhotography Thanks for your input.
This camera I think are one of four "Swiss Army Knife" cameras. It can do almost everything except ASTRO photography. Am I wrong? It can?
I have used it for Astro, just last week I got an image of Jupiter plus 4 of its moons using the subs 100-400 😊 One day I’ll do a video on that 👍
The 90D is a lot of camera for the price even with basic affordable lenses.
I've recently purchased an R7 as well, still learning its features but I feel the R7 just has too much for the average person. I'm an amateur and by no means actually claim to be a photographer, however in my experience the 90D was a great step up from my sub $400 panasonic and it provides some fantastic images.
I purchased a 2x extender which wasn't actually any advantage, cropping the image gave about the same result.
I’ve never been a fan of extenders
@@AndyHPhotography I think they would be handy for shooting video footage.
@@BrucieNZ that is maybe something I should consider. The thing that puts me off is the effect extenders have on aperture

great video andy , was interesting to hear about the canon90d was intersting here it takes ef lens because i was thinking of getting a canon r but dont think the ef lenses are compatible unless you use a adopter to connect it
Many thanks. Which camera do you use?
@@AndyHPhotography canon 5d mark iii
@@JCPhotographyMallorca cool. So if you want to the 90d your lenses should be compatible too 👍
@@AndyHPhotography yes I will have to research it a bit because like the r cameras but don’t think they are compatible with my lenses
Defiantly will research this camera as well as it seems pretty good and eye tracking is one of the things I am interested in as well as the screen having the capability to be flipped 🙂
You need to consider that a 32mp sensor is equivalent to something like 80mp full frame. Than means that the sensor will outperform most normal lenses, even some L lenses, and the images may appear soft. That may be one reason why mirrorless do not get 100mp sensors, the manufacturers know what to expect.
That is a very good point and something I'd not considered. It's noticeable the latest Canon mirrorless are around 24Mb
There is a long list of lenses already tested and many proven to work with the 32MP APSC 90D. We just avoid buying/using those older lenses that have been shown to be not good enough for 32MP APSC sensors.
(All the EF-S and EF lenes that I now already own, have been listed as good enough for 90D.)
@set3777 I now have6 lenses, zoom and prime, all of which are great on the apsc sensor 👍
@@AndyHPhotography I was thinking about getting one, only I have far too many bodies already, DSLR and mirrorless, in my pursuit of quality. 6, and lenses I had for work that I do not use much now. One recommendation I always suggest is do not be afraid of second hand or third party lenses, and always buy the best glass you can afford. I have countless stunning images taken on 3mp or 4mp bodies. You can pick up ex pro bodies like the Canon 1Dsiii for peanuts, or the 1D series which are H crop.
@@blisteringbooks2428 serving hands is always something I’ve shied away from but when or if I go mirrorless I’m going to take the second hand approach as I believe that the quality of the images ultimately is in the view of the photographer, not the tech. The tech can help capture it a but value for money the second hand market has some complete bargains out there
I´m looking into this to replace my aging 20d and also my 50D, but does the 90D support a vertikalgrip? Got big hands and really like the grip on there. + It´s better balance when using my 100 - 400 IS USM L lense. (gotta get that thing cleand, it´s getting on..)
Great thoughts on the camera mate and I hope you´re doing good!
Many thanks David for your kind words. I love it with my 100-400 and I hope you can get yours cleaned okay. By vertical grip do you mean an L bracket? There are brackets available for this on Amazon. I have a link for the camera on the video description. I’ll see if I can add a link for the L bracket
@@AndyHPhotography No I was thinking of a vertical batterygrip! Like the extra battery it provides to and the vertical trigger and so on :)
I’ve not used one of those so not sure if they would work. I have 2 extra batteries which double as a power bank. The camera is so efficient I’ve only once had to charge a battery on a shoot 👍
Great and inspiring video. Looking to move from a T3i to the 90D. Worth the jump? Landscape, wildlife (birds), and macro shots are my vibe. Thoughts?
Thank you John 🙏😊. It’s definitely it the upgrade. I came from the 600d (which is the U.K. equivalent of the t3i I think) and the jump up in every aspect is amazing. I use it for a lot of landscape and have the sigma 100-400 for wildlife and landscape. I also have the sigma 105 macro which I love but still getting used to. I’ve done videos on these and I plan on doing an updated video on the 105 over winter with some indoor macro.

Hi Andy, i am looking to buy my first camera and wondered if you had any advice. Over the past few months I've been using a 1300d that someone lent me to get some experience with before i purchased my own. I am looking for a camera that is going to have longevity and the 90D certainly seems to be it. Since you made this video has your opinion changed or do you still believe that is has the specs to stay relevant for a while longer?
Hi, I currently think it still has longevity 😊 I recently had a scan thinking I may ‘upgrade’ but found I’d need to go all the way to an R5 to make it worthwhile technically but at nearly 4x the price
Good afternoon' Andhy look, I bought a camera like this and I'm lost, I don't know how to configure it, neither the videos nor the photos! which ISO OR FORMAT TO USE" can you help me with configurations please!
No problem, I can try. If you’re new to dslr cameras, initially start shooting in Av mode would be my recommendation with auto ISO until you get the hang of how to use it. If you have access to editing software then sit in RAW but if not start in jpeg so that you can get some decent images to start with 😊
@@AndyHPhotography Thank you very much for the recommendations! I really have almost two years with the camera! But because I don't know its use, I have more than saved, it would be very helpful if you can also give me other recommendations!
@@agtvbarbershop I would recommend using the info on the LCD and shooting in LIVE view mode most of the time. A lot of the features in LIVE View are not fully utilised using the OVF

I'm mostly interested in landskape photography so i'm wonderind which lenses do you recommend to buy that would be good for this type of photography and both cameras.
I would recommend the 18-135. This is my goto lens on a day to day basis. Then think about whether you want to go wider (10-18) or telephoto (100-400). Checkout my other videos as I have done one on the 10-18 and 100-400. I’m also happy to answer any questions you may have😊

Hi, I’m owning a Canon 550D and I’m a beginner I would say, but very interested in pet (cats) photography and landscape would Canon 90D be a good camera for that?
This would be a perfect option. I upgraded from the 600D and really noticed the step up in quality and features
You need to raise the volume on the microphone. My cellphone volume is all the way up and we hardly can hear you
Cheers Sammy. I’ll check that but it’s a bit late after it’s uploaded 🤷♂️ hopefully my later videos with the new mic are a lot clearer😊

With Canon not producing DSLR cameras anymore, how much longer will they service the 90D? US Law says 7years from last sale of, but…I usually don’t switch or purchase a new camera unless it doesn’t work & repair cost is to high. I have seen some really quality wildlife photos from the Canon D-series cameras. Happy shooting.
That's a great question. The 90D can still be bought, but there will not be a DSLR upgrade/replacement as Canon move solely to mirrorless along with other manufacturers. It is still an awesome camera and at the moment I think offers much greater value for money than the new mirrorless ranges coming out. I have also noticed it is holding it's price on the secondhand market (at least here in the UK). I can't see myself switching unless mine actually breaks and they are no longer available
I need to get a pair of these. I hate the EVF on every mirrorless I've tried.
@@stormfalconstudios I’ve tried tracking wildlife and jets with the LCD and EVF but nothing beats an OVF imho
Thanks for the video. the board on my 70d is dying...$300 to replace. I am looking at the 90d instead of mirrorless; i can still use all my lenses and batteries with the 90d. I shoot real estate - 99% in live view but read that the live view in the 90d degrades over a short period of years. The 70d has never had an issue over 8 years or so. Could you share if you have found or have heard if this is a true issue with the 90d. Thanks again.
Hi Kirt, I’ve not heard of this problem before on the 90D. I’ve had mine for coming on 2 years and have had zero problems with live view andI tend to use live view for 95% of my images. I hope this helps.
@@AndyHPhotography thank you very much for the help
@@kirtg1 you’re welcome. Let me know what you decide
@@AndyHPhotography hi Andy.
Bought the 90D, have had no problems at this point.
The very nice upgrade from the 70D. Thanks again for your help.
@@kirtg1 you’re welcome Kirt. I’m glad you like it
Im thinking about buying this camera and some lenses to use as my main camera is it worth the heavy price tag and is the image quality worth the price will I get fantastic shots with this thank you PS I've been considering this for while and is this the camera for me
I would say definitely worth it. All of the images in my channel are shot with the 90d so please check those out if you have any doubts, but I love mine 😊
I’m confused 🫤 is it a DSLR or a mirrorless. Please excuse my ignorance I’m only learning about these. I have a canon 700d (first camera) and love it but it’s not compatible with my gimbal so I was thinking of upgrading to the 90d.
Hi, officially it's a dslr, but the 'live' view mode gives you effectively full mirrorless capabilities, including focus tracking and features you'd normally see on mirrorless. The only thing it lacks that a mirrorless camera has is the EVF as this is still an optical viewfinder on the 90D, but I use the screen 95%+ of the time giving me the full mirrorless features. I upgraded from the 650D which meant all of my lenses worked perfectly with the 90D.
@@AndyHPhotography that’s cool. So then my lenses should also work on a 90d. Saving money already 😂
Hi Andy. Great video regarding the 90d. Thanks man. I have the same camera, but I'm not that happy with it. May be I'm expecting too much. I mostly use the canon lens : 18-135 stm. Pictures are alright and sometimes nice. I am contemplating upgrading to the Canon 17-55 usm lens. Upgrading to a more expensive lens like this, in your humbled opinion. Would my images potentially be of better quality? Just don't want to be wasting money unnecessary.
Thank you for your kind words. I also use the 18-135 but the nano version. I used to have the old version of the lens and was happy with its overall performance. It could be something to do with the settings
Do you shoot through the OVF or are you using Live View. I find much sharper images with the LV.
Hi. Thanks for your response. I only use the flip out screen. Never the other. I'm not up there with the proper terminology. I hope you know what I mean. Regarding the lens. I have upgraded the lens. since watching this review. : 17-55, zoom. Also a 90mm fixed. Both Cannon. I am seeing a much better difference. Again ,thanks for your video. Best Wishes.
@@Berry_N Hay, Berry. Apologies I took so long to reply. Only just saw the comments. I do only really use the LV. Not given it much thought. I may have used the OVF, 2 or 3 times in about 2 and an half years. LOL.
Thank you so much, up dating camera body from 7d
Glad it proved useful and great upgrade 😊
Nothing goes over a good EVF, sure if you compare the OVF to the LCD alone its better, but EVF vs OVF and the electronic one will win
Not sure I agree. I think there’s a price premium for an EVF as good as an OVF🤷♂️
@@AndyHPhotography Well, i bought the EOS R7, not only because i had RF lenses already, but just for the RF 800 F11 for example ("affordable" and the lightest, very stable handheld 800mm you can get)
The R7 is basically a glorified, mirrorless 90D but the 4k fine, 1080p120, HDR PQ and clog3 option is a nice to have
I also enjoy the 15 fps efcs for BIF for example, 30 fps electronic more or less useless except for stationary birds and lower SS to get a higher chance of a really sharp one.
But i also mainly use EF lenses and the Meike Filter Adapter with 150-600, 17-55 2.8, 100 2.8 macro etc, except i want it really light or versatile, then RF.
I thought also about the 90D, but coming from an RP going "down" to APS-C was already something i wanted to avoid, but no RF mount, no IBIS, no modern video/clog3 features were just too much downsides, also the R7s autofocus and tracking capabilities is something you really dont want to miss in 2023+, even the R7s autofocus is already outdated and by far not as sticky as the R6 II and R8 autofocus....
@@harrison00xXx if I was to upgrade I would look at the R6II and the R5 (I hear rumours there’s a mark II coming soon as well)
@@AndyHPhotography well the R8 release now was somewhat unexpected (and probably what i would have wanted as RP owner)
But i tried the R6 once as upgrade to the RP and i was pretty much dissapointed and the R5 was definately over the budget but interesting.
@@harrison00xXx I think this year could be very interesting for the R series. I’m keeping my eye open but still not yet convinced to change
Thank you, I have this camera, I use ff lens 24-70 and 70-200 f 2.8. I think the photos great . I know it's a lense for ff. What do u think.
I use ff lenses on the 90d with little issue. I notice a little bit of softness at the 400mm end of the sigma 100-400 but other than that have no problems
@@AndyHPhotography I use tamron
@@tamiraab-bechor812 I always think that tamron and sigma are very similar
Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome. Do you have this camera or looking around?
@@AndyHPhotography don't have it but will probably get one.
@@bosse1998 awesome. I’ll be intrigued to know what you think when you get it
@@AndyHPhotography me too! It may be a R7?
@@bosse1998 keep me posted 👍
May 2024 is it still a good choice ? I only use it for street and urban photography, im consider eos 6d, eos r8, and this 90d , and now just confused which 1 that i should choose, i am a Fujifilm user for all this time and i love using sooc than the raw file
I think it is still worth it in 24 in terms of value. It may be worth checking out the R7 as that is the camera I upgraded to. Similar in price to the R8 but much higher spec than the 90d and I think better than the R8 in some ways. It’s a question of apsc versus full frame. All of the images in my videos since November 23 have used the R7. Feel free to keep me posted on which one you decide to get
@@AndyHPhotography Do you use the same lenses with an R to ES adapter ring? I can't imagine it being optimal, curious to read your opinion on it.
I still use EF lenses using the adapter and there’s no loss in quality that I notice. With my sigma 100-400 I felt the autofocus was a bit slower but that’s just my feeling rather than any specific testing.
Good video, can canon 90d livestream and record internally (dual recording)
Thank you. It can do livestreams with the canon eos webcam Utility on a PC. I do not live stream with it but do use OBS to record for my videos. You may also need a capture card such as those made by Elgato.
I have a Canon 90D and I absolutely love it.. But I am often told I need a second body just in case I am on a shoot and something happens with my current camera. What would you recommend for a second body as it would seem foolish to have 2 of the same bodies?
Personally I would have another 90D for familiarity and easy switching
@@AndyHPhotography Gotcha, and thank the
@@RichieColemanSr I agree with that. You could save a few bucks and go with a 70D or 80D, but you should at lest keep in the same product line so the controls are identical, or nearly so.
@@stormfalconstudios Thanks for the feedback, and that makes a lot of sense.
Can the canon 90d auto focus automatically when shooting time lapse? Also possible with macro photography?
I’ve not used autofocus during Timelapse as I’ve only done landscapes so far with no movement other than the sky. Having said that it kept the sea and sky in focus at so times. The autofocus definitely works brilliantly during macro as I use that with my 105 sigma lens. I hope this helps
😊Might as well pick up a used mint Sony A 7 mk with a 28_80 FE lens for £5-600and be done with it.
Full frame 24 MP
I think if I was starting from scratch, Sony and Canon would be my top two with a look at Nikon too. I already had a series of EF lenses and so the Canon line was an easier decision. Take a look at my video on the end of my 90D and which camera I then moved to if you get a chance 😊
hi i love my canon 90d to say i actually have two of em now as my original i dropped it and got a mega panic on but hey it survived the drop and still works but i do sometimes use my second 90d too thanks
That is awesome Andy. I know that if I got a second body, I would definitely get another 90D. I'm glad it survived the drop.
@@AndyHPhotography yes thanks i did a review other month on my tamron lens that i have for it and loving it i just use that lens for outdoor events and wildlife i dont use it for indoor live music as where i go for music it can get a bit rough u can check it out on my channel but also i might one day do a review on the canon 90d too but il see thanks Andy
Awesome, I'll check your video out and drop a sub
I meant to ask, are you on Vero?
@@AndyHPhotography no not yet just facebook and insagram
Sir i am from indian.. i have canon 90d.. but i am not getting gr8 results from it may be due to settings.. pls suggest and motivate me...

Thanks for your help. Got another q, in the self timer mode an annoying yellow flashing light goes off during the time cycle. Is there any way to turn off this flashing light? thanks again, Kirt
I’m not sure how to turn this off. I tend to use the 2 second timer and the Canon Bluetooth remote for these shots
@@AndyHPhotography thanks Sandy.
I used to second all the time and wish there was a way to turn it off.
Is it just an indicator light or is it actually measuring something? As in if I tape over it, will it inhibit some other monitoring process in the camera
@@kirtg1 I think it could also be used for lower light focusing in the auto modes so worth double checking
Thinking a lot of buying ff mirorless..I photo portrait.. be glad to read what u think...
I think this would do well with portraits. I use the sigma 30mm art f1.4 (ff 48mm) and the image quality is exceptional
Tnx, all professional photographers shut with ff..I started only one year ago, I love the 90d,beacause it's crop, everyone tell me I need a pro camera.
@@tamiraab-bechor812 I like the fact that my 100-400 is effectively a 150-600 lens for half the weight with the crop sensor
love my 90D! shame its a cropped sensor but tbh. not the end of the world.
I love mine too.
@@AndyHPhotography I think pound for pound. It’s one of the best. I know people get caught up on the crop - but I just can’t justify the extra money tbh ha. It’s done me well so far!
@@VenturePictures I agree. I am more than happy with the results I’m getting 😊
Should I buy this will it be worth it please help will this be the camera to stick with
Definitely worth it. I love mine and will stick with it for a a long time. All of the images in my UA-cam are taken with the 90d and I do not see myself changing for a long time
I'm stuck between 2 cameras, I go to a bunch of airshows and whatnot and want to know which camera would be better Canon R10 or 90d? I currently have the Sl3 which with only 9 autofocus points is just awful for fast-flying jets... I do have a Canon EF 70-300 USM lens but I don't mind buying an adaptor if I need to.
I think the faster focusing on the r7 may be the best if budget allows. I’m not sure how fast the r10 is but the 90d would be great with that lens. I’ve found that ef lenses with the adapter are not slowed down so far in use
@@AndyHPhotography I think the r7 is just a little bit over budget but thanks for the feedback!
@@AndyHPhotographyalso you said the EF lens are not slowed down in use, are you saying there still good to operate or will using a EF lens with an adaptor cause more complications?
@directaviation2044 feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I did a video on Lightroom editing which was taken with the 90d in the Mach loop. If you want the link let me know so you can see what it was like
@@directaviation2044 they all work very well with the adapter on my r7. I’ll do a video on it but it’s a few weeks out yet as my r7 and the adapter are pretty new
interesting video recording
Thank you
I plan to get a Canon 90D for UA-cam videos, do you think it worth ? Please answer. I am just a beginner using cameras.
The 90D is totally worth it for videos and is excellent in capturing video for UA-cam
@@AndyHPhotography Thanks a lot. One more question. I am a beginner and is 90D ok for beginners?
@@iraniha7939 definitely, and over time as you get used to it you’ll be able to use some of its advanced features too
@@AndyHPhotography Many thanks for your reply. I am your new friend ☺️
Yep I just got mine about four days ago for youtube! Its a good camera. I paired mine with the sigma 18-35.
I’m thinking of getting this camera but I’m worried about the crop sensor on it. For people who have it does it make a big difference?
For me it makes no difference. The only thing I noticed is that the sigma 100-400 gets a bit soft at 400mm, but that’s a full frame equivalent of 620+mm. I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any other questions. All of the images on my UA-cam have been taken with the 90D
@@AndyHPhotography thank you this helps a lot :)
canon 90 D vs nikon d7500. which is better
That’s tricky for me to say as I’ve always used Canon. I can say through that I am more than happy with my decision to get the 90D and definitely have no regrets as it is an amazingly capable camera
I have a t-6 can you use the lens on the 90D
@@rickmanson2695 sorry, but I don’t know the answer to that as it’s not something I’ve done
