One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

I have loved working with this camera, I have used it for commercial advertisements. Its small sensor is surprisingly good when challenging its dynamic range outdoors, and is even more amazing in a studio setting. I have used it in all kinds of situations. In this digital world, not having a clean HDMI output that aids in studio work and can also be used for live-streams is a downside, as well as it stopping after 30 minutes of continuous recording, which is my main critique. Seeing other capabilities in Sony cameras like outdoor dynamic range and sensor stabilization are other pluses that wouldn't hurt, but my experience with the 80D is that it's not far behind even if it's not the best. "A surprisingly good sensor" would be my conclusion.
