Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the 7D MII and 80D is 55 and 59 respectively.

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.
