Canon 80D vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 80D and Df.

To sum up, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 80D with its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Canon 80D will give you extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent 80D should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
