Canon EOS 7D mkII vs Canon EOS 80D Camera Comparison

Canon EOS 7D Mark II Advantages

Better Build quality

the Canon EOS 7D Mark II features a more robust build quality than the EOS 80D. You can see this in the weight difference. The 7D weighs .39 pounds more than the EOS 80D.

Faster Burst Rate

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II can shoot at 10 frames per second while the EOS 80D shoots at 7 frames per second.

Dual Card Slots

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II features a compact flash and an SD card slot, while the EOS 80D only offers a single SD card slot.

Built-in GPS

The 7D Mark II includes a built in GPS which can be great for travel photoraphy. The EOS 80D is compatible with the optional GPS unit that mounts in the camera’s hot shoe.

More AF points

The 7D Mark II has 65 autofocus points compared to the EOS 80D’s 45 point autofocus system. All points are cross sensitive in both cameras.

Canon EOS 80D Advantages

Smaller and lighter

the Canon EOS 80D is smaller than the 7D Mark II but mostly in the camera body width. Height and depth are very close. Additionally the EOS 80D weighs almost a half pound less than the EOS 7D Mark II (0.39 lbs).

Articulated LCD

One feature I really like on the EOS 80D is the articulated LCD screen. But my favorite part of the articulated LCD is the ability to close the screen to protect it when the camera is not in use.

Touchscreen

The EOs 80D screen is also a touch screen making changing camera settings or cinematic focus pulls a breeze.

Higher resolution

The Canon EOS 80D uses an all new 24 megapixel sensor for increased resolution. It is also an improvement over the 20mp chip found in the 70D and 7D Mark II in terms of dynamic range and high ISO quality.
