In many cases, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 80D and A900.

To sum up, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 80D featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A900 will show extra detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The younger 80D will have an edge in sensor tech.
