Normally, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing technical specs. The picture underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 80D and G7 X.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 80D having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 80D will produce extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs more aggressively. The younger 80D should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
