Will the Canon 80D work in 70D housings?

So far none of the reviews i've seen give actual dimensions of the two bodies. The Q and playback buttons are smaller on the 80D, but look to be in the same position. Based purely on pictures - it sure looks like it will work. Intrigued by the claimed improvements in low light autofocus and video capabilities. Probably wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade - except I suddenly have a need for a new body.

To make a long story short, I put a box filled with packing peanuts in the garage with my 70D camera body in it (had just been returned to me from a housing service and was trying to get it out of the way of the big boss at home); and my son put the entire box in the recycle and now a $1000 camera body is in a landfill : (

My next trip isn't until June so not an emergency - but would like to know so I can decide which way to go.

I use a Canon 700D in a Nauticam NA-600D housing and all buttons work except the ISO which I assign to another one, and you can't switch back to photo once in video.

Once the 80D is released take your housing to a dealer and try the camera in it. Looks promising as the Canon promotional video has the 1Dx mk2 in a Nauticam housing filming whales in 4K. Also the 5D mk3 and 5Dr/s are interchangeable. Shame to hear about your 70D.
