Actually completely different sensors and technologies. The 80D has the new 24 MP Dual Pixel sensor (with improved dynamic range). The T6i/T6s also have a 24 MP sensor (though non dual pixel), which will give you markedly increased cropping capability over a 20D. Noise characteristics and overall IQ have been much improved over the years also.

Not according to the review on this website. I quote from the first page, " The 80D also gains the same 7560 pixel RGB+IR metering sensor found in the Rebel T6s and T6i, a serious improvement over the 63-zone dual layer sensor found in the 70D."

Ooops, sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about the imaging sensor.

Granted the focus dual pixel thing is different but the sensors are the same, at least according to DPReview.

To clarify, the dual pixel focusing technology is in the imaging sensor (used for Live View and Video). The imaging sensors (though both are 24 MP) are vastly different.

The AF sensors (for through the viewfinder PDAF) are also different (quite a bit more advanced on the 80D).

The metering sensors may be the same however.
