Typically, its tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 80D and S9500.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 80D because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 80D will offer you extra detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent 80D will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
