Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 80D because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 80D will show extra detail as a result of its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The newer 80D will have a benefit in sensor technology.
