Canon 80D vs Sony ZV-1 II Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's tough to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by reviewing technical specs. The visual below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 80D and ZV-1 II.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 80D with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon 80D will offer more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older 80D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
