Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon 90D and Canon 6D MII side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon 90D and Canon 6D MII. Canon 90D is 3mm narrower and 6mm shorter than Canon 6D MII but it is also 2mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of Canon 90D and Canon 6D MII.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 90D and Canon 6D MII.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon 90D is 64g lighter than the Canon 6D MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Canon 6D MII has a Full frame sensor and Canon 90D has a smaller APS-C sensor, Canon 90D's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Canon 6D MII lenses.

Weather Sealing
Both 90D and 6D MII have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 90D and Canon 6D MII's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.
Canon 90D has a 33.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 8 processor. On the other hand, Canon 6D MII has a 26.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 7 processor.
Canon 90D's sensor provides 7MP more than Canon 6D MII's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the 90D and 6D MII sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Canon 6D MII has a 2.6x Larger sensor area than Canon 90D. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
In this section, we rank and compare Canon 90D and Canon 6D MII for five different photography types in order to make your decision process easier in case you are specifically interested in one or more of these areas.

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Canon 90D has an advantage over Canon 6D MII There are 321 lenses for Canon 90D's Canon EF/EF-S mount, on the other hand there are only 272 lenses for Canon 6D MII's Canon EF lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 107 lenses for Canon EF/EF-S mount and 77 lenses for Canon EF mount with IS.
