No 80D until 2016. It will have the new 20.2 sensor and the new DPAF in the 7D mk II, wifi, gps, articulated touchscreen, perhaps 8 fps, AF system lower than the 7D, and will probably inheret the same video quality as the 5D mk III and 7D mk II with 60p, clean HDMI out, headphone jack, etc.
I predict it will be a ligher/plastickier version of the 7D mk II, that's a little slower in frame rate and AF, but has wifi and touchscreen, for 1100-1200$. Just like the 60D was to the 7D. It's how the line-up is designed. Before that, we will will get a 750D with the same 20.2mp sensor, articulating touchscreen, 5/6 fps, DPAF and 5D mk III and 7D mk II video quality with 60p but without the headphone jack. Also a little slower/plastickier version of the 80D for a lower price. I don't expect ground breaking news from Canon APS-C line before 2018 or so, the 7D mk II features will just trickle down the line up (which is good). If there's new technology coming from Canon it will be in the 5D/1D update or in the 7D mk III, not in a lower-end model.
These are my speculations based in pure speculations, not information.
