In many cases, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through technical specs. The pic underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D MII and 80D.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon 80D to result in more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged 7D MII will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
