Typically, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The visual here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 450D and 80D.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 80D to provide you with greater detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 450D will be behind in sensor technology.
