Canon 80D vs Leica M-Monochrom Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through technical specs. The picture underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 80D and M-Monochrom.
As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 80D because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon 80D will produce extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger 80D will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
