Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon 80D and Sony A68 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 80D has external dimensions of 139 x 105 x 79 mm (5.47 x 4.13 x 3.11″) and weighs 730 g (1.61 lb / 25.75 oz) (including batteries). Sony A68 has external dimensions of 143 x 104 x 81 mm (5.63 x 4.09 x 3.19″) and weighs 610 g (1.34 lb / 21.52 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 80D and the Sony A68. Canon 80D is 4mm narrower and 2mm thinner than Sony A68 but it is also 1mm taller.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon 80D and Sony A68.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 80D and Sony A68.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A68 is significantly lighter (120g ) than the Canon 80D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon 80D and Sony A68 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 80D has a big advantage over the A68 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 80D's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony A68's 2.7 screen.
