Canon EOS 80D vs Nikon D7200 Camera Comparison

Side by Side

As you can see the two cameras are very close in height when compared side by side. The Canon EOS 80D is only 0.06 inch shorter than the Nikon D7200.

When comparing the width between the two cameras the Nikon D7200 is slightly slimmer, only 0.07 inch less than the Canon EOS 80D (not including the neck strap lug the difference is slightly more in favor of the Nikon as can be seen above).

The Nikon D7200 is a slight bit smaller in depth when compared with the Canon EOS 80D. The Nikon is almost 0.1 inch less overall. I think the Manufacturer measurements do not take the eyepiece into account as the Canon’s eyepiece sticks out from the camera body further than the Nikon’s making the Nikon appear a lot smaller than it is when compared with the Canon.

Overall the two cameras are so close that most people would not notice a difference between them. Ergonomics plays a much bigger role in any perceptible differences in size.

Conclusion

Overall the two cameras are very evenly spec’ed and selecting between them will only be easy if you already own one system or the other. In that case I would say stick with what you have and what you know rather than switching. but if you are starting over or don’t have a lot of lenses the biggest differences will come down to the ergonomics and controls of each camera. The best way to decide which one you like best will be to hold and use each camera and whichever one you like best after that is the one you should get
