What makes the Canon 77D special?
The Canon EOS 77D sits in a genuinely interesting spot in the Canon EF camera lineup. It launched alongside the Canon 800D but delivers serious features with a top-panel LCD, a dedicated AF joystick, and a full 45 all cross-type AF point array โ the same system found in the Canon 80D. That AF setup is a real differentiator: every single one of those 45 points is cross-type, meaning the camera can detect contrast in both horizontal and vertical directions, which translates to faster, more confident lock-on in variable lighting.
In Live View, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF turns the 77D into something close to a mirrorless experience. Phase-detect pixels cover most of the sensor surface, so pulling focus while filming or shooting from a tilted screen is smooth and responsive โ a feature that was genuinely ahead of its time for an APS-C DSLR at this level.
Compared to the Canon 80D, the DXO score sits at 78 vs the 80D's 79 โ essentially the same sensor in a lighter, slightly smaller shell. The Canon 90D steps up to 32MP and a faster burst rate if resolution and speed matter more to you. The Canon EOS 70D introduced Dual Pixel AF to this segment and still performs well, but the 77D's DIGIC 7 processor and improved autofocus make it the stronger choice for most users.
