Canon 80D Advantages:

• Megapixels – 8 more megapixels makes a difference when printing large, but not for mostly viewing your pictures on the monitor

• AF System – It has 4 less points, but all 45 are cross-type and phase detect, meaning they will focus quicker and more accurately in every situation

• LCD Screen – It’s fully articulated, whereas the X-T1 can only tilt and swivel

• Touchscreen – You can use the LCD display to select wherever you want focus, as well as navigate through the menus/files

• Top LCD Display – You can quickly preview all of your settings, as well as battery life, focusing mode etc. Helps a lot when shooting in manual modes

• Headphone Jack – Great for monitoring audio quality

• Buffer Size – 53 vs 30 for JPEG

• Flash Sync Speed – 1/250 vs 1/180

• Startup Time  – 3x faster startup time

• Built-in NFC

• Battery Life – 610 shots longer battery life

The Canon 80D is more expensive and is a DSLR, so it’s got a bigger, environmentally sealed body with a longer battery life. Its sensor has 8 more megapixels, a more sophisticated AF system with all 45 phase-detect and cross-type, touchscreen fully articulated LCD screen with a way bigger buffer. Worth the money if you like what it offers!
