Canon 80D vs Sigma SD9 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 80D and SD9.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 80D to produce greater detail because of its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The younger 80D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
