  January 2022
  Bought from a store outside of skroutz in September 2020 / today 3,500 clicks
  The Canon 90D is a versatile camera, with a very fast processor that handles the 33 mp above, and I think it is aimed at those who would like a full frame but cannot afford the cost of the camera and lens change.
  I do not deal with video and that's why the opinion I express concerns photography. The camera has all the controls on the right hand, on the back or on the top and after a relatively short use you can use them without taking your eye off the viewfinder. This is also helped by the indications you see from the viewfinder. The only switch on the left hand is the on/off. There are actions that are done by many controls, (eg moving the focus point)
  The camera has a big problem for me that I did not have in other DSLRs since 2005. Changing the focus point. In previous dslr (Nikon D70, D7000) by activating the focus / shoot button you moved the focus points with another switch. In the 90D after activating the focus button you have to press another button to activate or change the focus point/area or select the number of focus points that you have to move with a third switch. A camera like this with a very fast processor and high speeds (10fps) the above problem significantly delays shooting.
  The camera menu is logically structured and user-friendly and is easily learned through use.
  The photo processing software from the little I worked with seems good but for processing a large volume of photos it seemed cumbersome and that's why I preferred the software I was using before. The accompanying photo processing software also shows the focus points.
  The dimensions of the photos are 6960 x 4640 pixels (163 x 245 cm) with file sizes from 2,500 kb to 10,000 kb (In raw ~x3) There are times when the computer (i7 4th generation with 8Gb memory) is slow to respond to some processing (eg rotation) due to the size of the photos.
  Of course, the photos take up more space on the external storage medium in the main and backup
  The quality of the photo now, is related to the lens and the size of the photo you see or want to use. I used the lens (18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM) that Canon gives in the kit that I inherited from a Canon 750D. I also bought a used Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II. Both lenses are aspherical and with minimal distortion that in most cases does not bother. I view the photos on a 23-inch screen and the sharpness of the 33mp, on a screen smaller than the natural size of the photo and the photo filling the screen without cropping, is very good and does not bother (an experienced eye will notice in some cases that the sharpness is not very good but this is corrected by the computer) In printing, I print on A3 or A4 paper with a laser printer and laminate it, or print on canvas in the same size. So any sharpness imperfections I do not see in the print. Sharpness of course depends on the aperture and the number of focus points. For large prints, another lens may be needed and the opinion of the printing store.
  I found it difficult to get used to the colors, as I came from the more intense colors of Nikon. However, it is very good and more natural. In difficult lighting conditions, it produces a slight pink hue. The detail and color reproduction in photos are better than in the past, even with shadow and intense lighting.
  The battery has a long life, I haven't exhausted it yet. I have recharged it at 700+ clicks over several days of shooting and with many clicks in front of it. After each use, I remove it from the body. However, I noticed that the battery drains after long periods of inactivity outside the body. It definitely lasts without charging for a rather intense use for a 5-6 day trip. I would get a second battery if I wanted the security of not running out of full coverage during a ceremony.
  The single storage slot will only concern those who use jpg and raw files simultaneously or even video. The problem is solved with a large storage card or a second card.
  The strong points of the camera include the ISO 25,600, which allows you to click without a tripod. There is a noise reduction setting and the final result is very good.
  Another strong point of the camera is the tilting screen.
  The weight of the camera body is the lowest in its category and only concerns those coming from a lower category.
  The current price of €1,300.00 for the camera is high. I bought it as a body for €1,100.00 on offer in September 2000, and with the lens (18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM) that Canon offers in a promotion, it cost me a total of €1,400.00 compared to the current price of €1,730.00.
  It would be desirable to have built-in GPS. I haven't tried the WiFi yet as it wasn't useful for me.
  Summary: A fast camera with high and good ISO, precise, fast, and silent autofocus, very good sharpness for its lens, good colors, useful tilting screen, user-friendly buttons. Its major drawback is the delay in changing focus points and positions, and its price. Although the camera is fast, the problem of changing focus points and the many settings make it more useful for static subjects rather than action or wildlife subjects. I would say that the EOS 750D I had, although with fewer settings, did not lose speed in capturing my subject.
  A second card and built-in GPS would be desirable.
  I would recommend it to people (like me) who want to crop a part of the subject in a photo that they cannot get close to (isolating a detail or a close-up).
  The attached photos were taken without a tripod and without flash, they have not been edited except for resizing and adding shooting information. Photos 2 and 4 are crops of the subjects in 1 and 3, respectively. All photos have sizes in proportions to the original, so 2 and 4 have the same ratio as 1 and 3 of the originals. Photos 1 and 2 differ significantly in terms of aperture. Photo 5 is a nighttime shot at 25600 ISO without noise in the black.

  UPDATE October 2022. After 4900 clicks and with "gentle" behavior, everything mentioned above still applies, plus the fact that the sensor did not require manual cleaning. I have set it to clean with every opening of the camera.
  UPDATE May 2024, with 9,000+ clicks, NO ISSUES, all the above still applies. Explanation: The review for the weight is very good for its category and for my non-maternal lens 18-200 but it is not as light as the smaller category. The review of the photo quality concerns the above lens. I also tried the maternal 18-135 with the same quality. Both lenses have slight distortion in extreme conditions that are not bothersome.

  Amazing machine, if you want a DSLR and a lightweight camera and lenses at the same time... Amazing. Are Full Frame cameras better? They are for professionals. If you can handle their weight and the weight of their lenses. I have it as a companion to my 80D, together in the bag with a full range of lenses at 2.2 kg, perfect for traveling. It outperforms the equivalent Nikon mainly in video with its focus capabilities.
