Would this also apply to the 80D, given they’re so similar? Also, is it still possible to stick the rubber bits back down so that they are exactly the same as before?

phily_artorius - Aug 25, 2018

No, the 80D is completely different

How far is the 80D different? I would love to see a teardown somewhere… ^^
