Canon EOS 90D Camera Body
Description
Fast DSLR performance that takes you closer…
A perfect balance of speed, image quality and portability – ideal for getting close to nature and capturing fast-moving sports.

Ideal for sports and wildlife photography
The EOS 90D is built around an 32.5MP APS-C sensor that gives lenses 1.6x the telephoto reach they would have on a full-frame camera. Great for those times when you need to be right in amongst the action.

The freedom to crop and recompose
Full resolution pictures from the 32.5 megapixel EOS 90D can be cropped, rotated and resized with image quality detailed enough for large prints. Find scenes within a scene and adjust your composition for the perfect result.
CROP CREATIVELY
100% CROP
Catch the most fleeting moments
Reveal the moments it’s impossible to see with the naked eye, shooting 32.5 megapixel images at up to 10 frames per second. High ISO sensitivities (up to ISO 25,600) let you freeze action with breathtakingly fast shutter speeds, as a quick as 1/8000sec.
Take a clearer view
The EOS 90D has a bright, approx.100% coverage optical viewfinder that lets you view action as it happens and makes it easier to track fast-moving subjects, such as birds in flight. An intelligent customisable display shows key shooting information, so you always know what’s happening even when the pressure is on.
EOS 90D’s Vari-Angle touchscreen lets you shoot comfortably from different angles. You can focus and shoot with a single tap, making this a very intuitive way to work.
Fast as lightning, sharp as a pin
Even the quickest subjects are tracked and kept pin-sharp, thanks to an advanced autofocusing system. 45 cross-type AF points work with a 220,000-pixel RGB+IR exposure sensor for outstanding low-light sensitivity as well as subject recognition.
A photographer’s camera
The EOS 90D is the latest in a long line of DSLRs from Canon, each one a refinement and evolution on the last. This re-assuring yet customisable design feels instinctive from the moment you pick it up – controls fall perfectly under fingers and thumbs and the camera is very well balanced with both long telephoto and short, wide-angle lenses from Canon’s extensive range of optics.
Connected to your digital life
Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adds another dimension to your creativity. The EOS 90D works together with smart devices running the Canon Camera Connect app* to make it easy to share images via messaging and social media. It’s also possible to control the camera remotely, for alternative viewpoints.
* Bluetooth functionality with Camera Connect app requires smart device to be equipped with Bluetooth version 4.0 (or later). Also requires smart device to be using operating system iOS 11.4 (or later) or Android 5.0 (or later) see specifications for detailsDiscover more
Unleash your inner film director
The EOS 90D is superb filmmaking tool, with the ability to shoot resolutions up to 4K and frame rates up to 120p in Full HD mode. Our superb Dual Pixel CMOS AF focusing system keeps things looking sharp and cinematic. Microphone and headphone connections let you capture a soundtrack that’s every bit as good as the imagery.
