I planned to buy a Rebel SL2 or T7i as a backup to my 80D but, with the Spring Canon rebate offer, the Canon EOS 77D dropped a Benjamin below the T7i. A week later I found a 77D on my doorstep.
The 77D is essentially a cross between a Rebel and 80D: Rebel T7i form factor and build with many controls and features of the 80D. While not as solid as the 80D, the 77D feels good in my medium sized hands, sporting ample grip area and thoughtfully placed controls. Controls may be used by feel while looking through the viewfinder, allowing on the fly adjustments. The touchscreen is vivid, sensitive, and a dream for navigating through the menus. The only negative is the on-off switch: stiff and cheap feeling. Luckily I rarely turn my cameras off—sleep mode is good enough—but I felt like I might break the darn thing off with each use.
AF is fast and accurate, basically the same as the 80D. The 45-point phase-detect AF system (viewfinder) covers a major portion of the frame, making off-center and low light compositions a snap. There are few situations this camera won’t achieve focus under.
Canon’s AF mode and point selection are refined, fast and easy to use. I normally manually select zones and individual AF points while looking through the viewfinder: press the AF select button and spin one of the dials or press the rocker pad. AF points may be selected on the touchscreen also: move your eye away from the viewfinder and the AF modes instantly appear on the LCD.
Dual Pixel AF, used for Live View and video, is amazingly flexible, accurate and several times faster than the Hybrid AF used on the prior generation of Rebels, e.g., SL1 and T6i, and M3. Simply press the Live View button and you have a highly effective “mirrorless” camera. I suspect the iOS generation will be perfectly happy using the 77D in Live View only, poking the touchscreen like a giant iPhone and uploading images to social media via Wi-Fi and the Canon Connect app.
Dual Pixel AF is a level slower than the 45-point phase-detect AF in the viewfinder, so not for fast sports or birds in flight. However, it is ideal for point and shoot and can track joggers, walkers and crawlers like a champ. For video, it grabs faces like glue and never lets go.
One significant feature the 77D didn’t inherit from the 80D is the 100% coverage and .95x viewfinder. Instead, we get a somewhat small and dim 95% coverage and .82x magnification Rebel spec viewfinder. Small viewfinders are par for the course for Rebels but disappointing for this class and price point.
Although a wee viewfinder, it's a “smart” one, featuring a transparent LCD overlay for display of AF points, grid and icons, aping EVF features. The square AF points are easy to see in most light, unlike the pinhole AF points used in many Rebel models, and may be programmed to flash red all the time, not at all or only in dim light. I leave the grid enabled to help keep horizontal and vertical lines square. Although an electronic level is available, it’s small and fiddly to use.
Basic video options are yet another Rebel inheritance of the 77D. The good news is Dual Pixel AF is cutting edge by any standard and makes capturing sharp video shockingly easy. The quality of the resulting HD file is very good but, sadly, files are limited to low bit rates and the so-called “easy to share” MP4 format. In contrast, the 80D has the option of higher bit rates (MOV format and ALL-I compression), allowing for more post processing with fewer artifacts. And the 77D lacks clean HDMI out, so you can’t dance around the low bit rates with an external recorder.
Another MIA 80D trait is auto focus micro-adjustment or AFMA: the ability to calibrate individual lenses for optimal sharpness. My 70D, 80D and 6D MK II required AFMA for most lenses. Oddly, my cameras without AFMA—SL1 and 77D—are sharp when using most of the same lenses. It’s as if Canon was intentionally sloppy setting up DSLRs with AFMA, expecting customers to calibrate, but dialed in those lacking AFMA more carefully.
The diminutive LP-E17 is the same battery used in recent Rebels (T6i, T7i, etc.) and M-series EOS. A small battery is a necessary compromise for a small camera: don’t expect the same performance as a big battery like the LP-E6N. Canon claims the LP-E17 delivers 600 still images with optical viewfinder shooting and, indeed, I squeezed out close to that number. However, heavy Live View use drops that number below 300. In fairness, my M3 (mirrorless) uses the same battery and barely manages 200 frames, so the 77D is a reasonably power efficient camera in “mirrorless” mode. A spare battery is essential if you’ve got itchy trigger finger or shoot video.
Finally, the image quality of the 77D is excellent: sharp, low noise, vivid colors, accurate exposure and noteworthy high ISO performance. No problem if you need a 2-stop shadow lift or a large print. I process RAW files in Adobe Lightroom Classic and the 77D exhibits the same image quality as the 80D, M5 and other cameras with the Canon 24.2 MP CMOS, so no surprises here.
While not perfect, the 77D is a darn good camera: polished ergonomics, excellent AF performance and ready and able in nearly any photographic situation. It especially excels as a travel and hiking camera, shoehorning high performance into a compact form factor without being too tiny to hold comfortably. For video bloggers, the articulating LCD, Dual Pixel AF (in face priority mode) and smartphone control make the 77D a great choice for the next ramen challenge or makeup tutorial.

|---|---|---|---|
Optical ViewfinderThe EOS 77D camera’s optical viewfinder gives professional-level control and convenience by letting you see exactly what the lens sees in a variety of lighting conditions. A 45-point all cross-type autofocus system1 helps you get what you want in focus, quickly. This comes in especially handy when trying to photograph fast-moving subjects. With minimal glare and minimal lag between what you see and what the camera captures, you can get the shot you want. |
Dual Pixel CMOS AFThe EOS 77D camera’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF helps deliver the world’s fastest autofocusing speed at 0.03 sec.5 Available when using Live View on the LCD touchscreen for both photos and videos, it features phase-detection which helps quickly and accurately determine how far away an object is and stays locked onto your subject, even if your subject is in motion. Dual Pixel CMOS AF helps ensure your results are sharp, keeps the time it takes to lock focus onto your subject to a minimum and smoothly maintains focus where you want it. |
24.2 MP CMOS (APS-C) SensorThe EOS 77D camera features a 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) sensor capable of capturing clear, detailed and vivid images and movies. From the skin tones in a portrait, to the greens and browns of nearby foliage, the incredibly sensitive CMOS-style sensor can capture the rich, vibrant colors of the world around you. Its high resolution reveals intricate details of your subject, and is suitable for printing or easily uploading for use on the web. |
DIGIC 7 Image ProcessorThe DIGIC 7 Image Processor powers the EOS 77D camera with high image quality and fast operation, even in low light. When using high ISO settings, the image processing helps keep results sharp and detailed in virtually any lighting situation. Powerful all around, the DIGIC 7 Image Processor helps ensure your photos and videos look sharp and lifelike with minimal unwanted noise or grain. |

Wireless ConnectivityThanks to built-in Wi-Fi technology and the Canon Camera Connect app2, the EOS 77D camera can transfer photos and videos to and from compatible devices, upload directly to various web services and more. Built-in NFC technology3 means it can connect directly to compatible devices by simply touching the NFC icon on the camera to the device. Bluetooth4 technology lets you easily pair the EOS 77D with a compatible smartphone using the free Canon Camera Connect app2. You can also establish a direct Wi-Fi connection to use your phone as a viewfinder, and check and download previously captured photos and videos. |
Vari-Angle Touch Screen LCDThe EOS 77D camera features a Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD II monitor. During Live View, simply tap the screen and the camera will focus on that location almost instantly. Two-finger touch gestures can be used for zooming or changing images after you’ve taken them, and menu and quick control settings can be accessed quickly and easily. With 1.04 million dots the screen is highly detailed and treated with a smudge-resistant coating to help minimize fingerprints and maintain a clear image, even in bright light. |
RGB+IR Metering SensorA fine-tuned 7560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor not only helps ensure accurate exposure, but also uses Color Detection AF to detect skin tones and help provide precise AF. This is particularly useful when establishing focus for portraits in situations where other AF systems may falter. When a skin tone is detected, AI Servo AF starts off on skin-colored points, then tracks the subject based of the original AF point’s color information, maintaining focus on the person even when they’re in motion. |
Anti-Flicker ShootingThe EOS 77D camera features a flicker detection system that not only alerts the user in the viewfinder, but with the camera's Anti-flicker Shooting function can compensate for flickering light sources, taking shots as close to peak light volume as possible. This feature is useful for helping to minimize disparities in color and exposure, especially during continuous shooting in sub-optimal lighting situations. |

Movie Electronic ISCamera shake is inevitable at times, whether you’re ready to record the game-winning goal while running to keep up with the players, or when the landscape is epic but you’re riding in the car on a bumpy road. Movie Electronic IS6 helps minimize image blur due to shake, even when recording Full HD videos. When enabled and used with a compatible lens, 5-axis stabilization helps minimize image blur in the horizontal, vertical, and rotational planes. |
HDR Movie and Time-Lapse MovieHDR Movie mode captures correctly exposed and under-exposed images, then blends them into one video with more highlight detail for stunning results. Time-Lapse Movie mode takes long stretches of time, and condenses it down to a single high-speed video. Rapidly moving pedestrians on a busy street, fast-moving clouds in the sky – the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. |
High-Speed Continuous ShootingThe more images, the better. That's the idea behind the EOS 77D camera's ability to capture up to 6.0 frames per second. Whether you’re capturing a majestic bird taking flight or a pro athlete scoring a winning goal, the EOS 77D can take the shot and stay locked on throughout the action, ensuring you capture the exact moment you want. |

AF points may be selected on the touchscreen also: move your eye away from the viewfinder and the AF modes instantly appear on the LCD.
Dual Pixel AF, used for Live View and video, is amazingly flexible, accurate and several times faster than the Hybrid AF used on the prior generation of Rebels, e.g., SL1 and T6i, and M3. Simply press the Live View button and you have a highly effective “mirrorless” camera. I suspect the iOS generation will be perfectly happy using the 77D in Live View only, poking the touchscreen like a giant iPhone and uploading images to social media via Wi-Fi and the Canon Connect app.
Dual Pixel AF is a level slower than the 45-point phase-detect AF in the viewfinder, so not for fast sports or birds in flight. However, it is ideal for point and shoot and can track joggers, walkers and crawlers like a champ. For video, it grabs faces like glue and never lets go.
One significant feature the 77D didn’t inherit from the 80D is the 100% coverage and .95x viewfinder. Instead, we get a somewhat small and dim 95% coverage and .82x magnification Rebel spec viewfinder. Small viewfinders are par for the course for Rebels but disappointing for this class and price point.
Although a wee viewfinder, it's a “smart” one, featuring a transparent LCD overlay for display of AF points, grid and icons, aping EVF features. The square AF points are easy to see in most light, unlike the pinhole AF points used in many Rebel models, and may be programmed to flash red all the time, not at all or only in dim light. I leave the grid enabled to help keep horizontal and vertical lines square. Although an electronic level is available, it’s small and fiddly to use.
Basic video options are yet another Rebel inheritance of the 77D. The good news is Dual Pixel AF is cutting edge by any standard and makes capturing sharp video shockingly easy. The quality of the resulting HD file is very good but, sadly, files are limited to low bit rates and the so-called “easy to share” MP4 format. In contrast, the 80D has the option of higher bit rates (MOV format and ALL-I compression), allowing for more post processing with fewer artifacts. And the 77D lacks clean HDMI out, so you can’t dance around the low bit rates with an external recorder.
Another MIA 80D trait is auto focus micro-adjustment or AFMA: the ability to calibrate individual lenses for optimal sharpness. My 70D, 80D and 6D MK II required AFMA for most lenses. Oddly, my cameras without AFMA—SL1 and 77D—are sharp when using most of the same lenses. It’s as if Canon was intentionally sloppy setting up DSLRs with AFMA, expecting customers to calibrate, but dialed in those lacking AFMA more carefully.
The diminutive LP-E17 is the same battery used in recent Rebels (T6i, T7i, etc.) and M-series EOS. A small battery is a necessary compromise for a small camera: don’t expect the same performance as a big battery like the LP-E6N. Canon claims the LP-E17 delivers 600 still images with optical viewfinder shooting and, indeed, I squeezed out close to that number. However, heavy Live View use drops that number below 300. In fairness, my M3 (mirrorless) uses the same battery and barely manages 200 frames, so the 77D is a reasonably power efficient camera in “mirrorless” mode. A spare battery is essential if you’ve got itchy trigger finger or shoot video.
Finally, the image quality of the 77D is excellent: sharp, low noise, vivid colors, accurate exposure and noteworthy high ISO performance. No problem if you need a 2-stop shadow lift or a large print. I process RAW files in Adobe Lightroom Classic and the 77D exhibits the same image quality as the 80D, M5 and other cameras with the Canon 24.2 MP CMOS, so no surprises here.
While not perfect, the 77D is a darn good camera: polished ergonomics, excellent AF performance and ready and able in nearly any photographic situation. It especially excels as a travel and hiking camera, shoehorning high performance into a compact form factor without being too tiny to hold comfortably. For video bloggers, the articulating LCD, Dual Pixel AF (in face priority mode) and smartphone control make the 77D a great choice for the next ramen challenge or makeup tutorial.

This camera feels so much better in the hand than her rebel does. The grip is deep and solid and allows me to hold the camera in my right hand confidently. All of the button and dials feel solid and well made compared to the rebel. I absolutely love the way it feels in my hands. Its hard to describe how solid and comfortable it is.
The LCD on top is super convenient for checking your settings. It allows me to use the auto exposure system and learn what settings are appropriate for different situations. I can now use full manual without over/under exposing my pictures because I could glance down before every picture and see what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO the camera had chosen for me and I eventually got a feel for how the exposure triangle works in each situation. Now that I use the camera in manual more often, I always know what setting I have dialed in without having to operate the touch screen. It is so much easier to use the dials to quickly change setting than it is to navigate the touch screen menu and change them that way. I was looking at the t7i, but it lacked the top lcd screen. I wasn't sure that it was really necessary, but now I couldn't live without it.
All of the menus are very intuitive and well laid out. As I learn more about photography, I can easily navigate through the menus to change setting and use all of the camera's features. (of which there are many)
The build quality is excellent. After a few months of carrying it with me everywhere I go, it hasn't shown any sign of wear. Everything feels tight and solid and all of the moving parts seem to be built to last. It feels like a much more expensive camera than it is. The rebel I started with feels almost cheap and light when compared to the 77d. The deep grip makes all the difference in the world.
The picture quality is outstanding for a camera in this price range. Paired with a good lens, I can produce very clean and detailed images. As with any aps-c camera with such a high mp count, the noise can become very apparent at high ISO, but anything below 3200 is easily cleaned up in post. I often shoot pictures at 6400 that are totally usable with no obvious noise until you zoom in 1:1. For social media like facebook and instagram, no one will ever notice the noise in your images. It is only when zoomed in very close that you notice it in any appreciable way and even then it can very easily be cleaned up in post processing.
The auto focus is very accurate through the viewfinder, which is how I usually shoot. I have used single point as well as many of the other focusing options and they all perform exceptionally in most situations. When using the live view screen the auto focus is out of this world. It is fast and smooth to focus on any place that you touch. I honestly cant believe how good the live auto focus is. I find myself using live view in more and more situations just because it is so accurate and easy. Especially in low light situations where you can barely see anything through the viewfinder.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with the 77d as my first serious camera. It has been the perfect tool in my quest to learn as much about photography as I can. No matter what new path I go down in photography, this camera always has the features and functions required to explore each new direction. Astrophotography, landscapes, portraits, macro, architecture, light painting, long exposure, time lapse, video, panorama, and the list goes on and on. This camera has been able to keep up with my ever changing curiosity as I grow as a photographer. I cannot recommend this camera highly enough.

Perfect for my first Dslr with room to grow
By Michael Dunston on August 30, 2019
I bought this after finding an interest in photography. I used my girlfriend's rebel sl2 with a kit lens and realized how much I enjoy photography. I decided to get a camera of my own and went with the 77d with the Canon 50mm 1.8. I chose the 77d because it is a step above the rebel series as far as build quality goes and had all of the features I wanted in a camera.By Michael Dunston on August 30, 2019

Must read and read till end!Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on December 3, 2018
I won't go much into deep in terms of specs sheet. But some important points regarding its competition worth mentionable-
*There is not much options in this price range. The comptition is nikon d7500, nikon d7200, nikon d5600, canon 80d and canon 800d. But price range is different.
Now i will explain deferences briefley -
1. Nikon d7200 - way old model. Lacks rotating screen. Lacks dual pixel autofocus. Old processor.
2. Nikon d7500 - 25k pricier. Lacks dual pixel autofocus and rotating display.
3. Nikon d5600 - lacks secondary quick info display on top. Lacks dual pixel autofocus. Lacks secondary command dial.
4. Canon 80d - 20k pricier but same sensor. Same picture quality.
differences- 77d has newer processor which means better iso performance (25600 vs 16000 in 80d).
80d is better - 80d has large bettery, weather sealing and 7fps vs 6fps (not a big differnce)
5. Canon 800d - the only option i will prefer beacuse it is 15k less priecier and same package in terms of sensor and processor.
Only key differnce- secondary display on top and secondary command dial is absent in 800d
CONCLUSION-
77D is best value for money because it has:
1. best autofocus system in market right now (dual pixel autofocus) that Nikon lacks.
2. It has secondary quick info display on top and secondary command dial in this price range.
3. 45 all cross type focus points.
4. 18-135mm usm lens is allrounder.

Yo muy contento con mi compra, cuando veo el producto , primero la caja de la cámara canon , abierta sin ningún tipo de sello , ni el de canon, segundo aspecto negativo el cable que suministra corriente al cargador de la batería, sistema europeo de tres puntas gruesas y no trae garantía de la tienda ,por lo demás la cámara esta bien ,nueva ,funciona bien y ofrece muy buenas prestaciones este modelo de canon 77d , y la verdad a un muy buen precio en la que la obtuve, cosa que resulta difícil en las tiendas aquí en México .

Its a brilliant camera for upgrading from your mobile camera to a DSLR. Many think that a DSLR takes great pictures. It's on the photographer to do that. With a DSLR you work with Aperture, Shutter and Exposure. Do not buy a DSLR if you just want to use it as a ’point and shoot’ in Auto mode. Most of the time your results will be bad. But practice, read, practice, read... And finally you will become a natural.Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on August 13, 2019
This picture was taken when I just woke up and my cat was sitting near my feet. It is uneditted, but cropped to size. Buy the camera with 18-135 mm lens. You will get both wide-angled (for landscape pictures, group pictures, etc) and telescopic lens built-in one. It's more expensive, but if you buy the lenses in two sets, then you will keep ending up changing lenses, which is a bother... especially if you want the same picture both in wide-angled and closeup.
The camera has the right features for a semi-pro photographer. Time-lapse, burst, and video (though only 1080p. You don't need 4k. 4k doesn't make videos clearer...they are only bigger, for big screens like 120 inches screens.)
Good value for money.
