Generally, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading through specs. The photograph below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 500D and 80D.

All in all, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon 80D to give greater detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older 500D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
