Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D780 and D80.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The D780 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon D780 will offer extra detail having its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher D780 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
