Canon 77D Advantages:
- Body Image Stabilization – The Canon 77D has video stabilization which helps a lot if you don’t have a lens with IS, but it doesn’t work for photographs.
- ISO – 51,200 vs 25,600. Higher maximum ISO sensitivity.
- AF Points – 45 vs 19.
- Cross-type AF Points – 45 vs 19. Cross-type AF Points are much more accurate and faster in low light.
- Continuous mode – 6fps vs 5fps. It’s an advantage, but not something you will really notice that often.
- Top LCD Display – When shooting in semi-auto/manual modes, you can quickly preview all of your settings.
- RAW Buffer Size – 27 vs 6.
- Time-Lapse
- Bluetooth Support
- Battery Life – 600 shots vs 440 shots.
- Weight – The Canon 77D weighs 67g less.
The 77D is what a good upgrade should look like. It’s got a built-in video stabilization, 1 stop higher max ISO and way better AF system, borrowed from the 80D. 45 of those points are cross-type, it shoots 1fps faster, has a top LCD screen, 5x bigger RAW buffer and finally better battery life.
