The other one, it just seems like the pelican is landing into
‘nothingness’. If there was something else there, more rock,
more ocean…anything, I’d pick the second. But the way it
is…#1 for me.

I have both. The 80d has the better, newer Canon sensor. It has almost the same af options as the 7d2 without I think Canon calls them af classes (a big omission in my opinion). It is somewhat slower than the 7d2. It has live view with dpaf which means when using live view one does not have to do lens micro adjustments (a big plus for me.). But, if the dpaf is the same as in the m5, the af sensors are not cross type only vertical. The 80d is somewhat lighter and smaller. When shooting sports or bif I always use my 7d2. Before I bought my m5 I carried my 80d everywhere I went. I have a bad back, I hike almost every day and I am getting old (73) so the m5 works for me (small and pretty lite) for everything other than for moving objects so my 80d is not used much anymore. The m5 and 80d have about (maybe the same) sensor. The m5 is not: a sports camera, bif flight camera, low light camera, flash camera and the af options are limited and not as easy to use as say the 7d2 (some will disagree), but for hiking (landscape), flowers, street photography, etc for someone who does not make a living selling images who is old and grey, it is a fine tool. By the way, the m5 can use all Canon lens with an adapter.
