Canon 80D vs Nikon Z5

Here, we are analyzing the Canon 80D and Nikon Z5, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the 80D (24MP) and the Z5 (24MP) is fairly close but the 80D (APS-C) and Z5 (Full frame) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The 80D was released 5 years before the Z5 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 80D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Nikon Z5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the 80D matches up against the Z5 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 80D and Nikon Z5. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 80D Gallery and Nikon Z5 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and dimensions. The Canon 80D comes with physical measurements of 139mm x 105mm x 79mm (5.5" x 4.1" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 730 grams (1.61 lbs) whilst the Nikon Z5 has dimensions of 134mm x 101mm x 70mm (5.3" x 4.0" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 675 grams (1.49 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you select at the time. The following is a front view dimensions comparison of the 80D vs the Z5.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 80D and Z5 is 59 and 62 respectively.

Normally, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specs. The image here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 80D and Z5.

All in all, both of those cameras come with the identical megapixels but not the same sensor dimensions. The 80D offers the smaller sensor which is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging. The more aged 80D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
