Getting to know the camera

We have something new and unusual in our hands - the Canon EOS 77D . The camera does not belong to any of the established lines of manufacturer's DSLRs. It is positioned as an intermediate option between the amateur EOS 800D and the advanced, large and powerful EOS 80D. The novelty is especially relevant for our market, because the prices for photographic equipment have skyrocketed, but many want to engage in photographic creation, have an affordable “adult” camera with convenient controls and the necessary functions. Canon EOS 77D throws a bridge for beginners to the world of serious photographic equipment. Get price Canon EOS 77D It works on the same basis as the EOS 800D and EOS 80D: they have a similar APS-C image sensor with a resolution of 24 megapixels, an autofocus system with support for Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology and 45 points when viewing through the viewfinder. At the same time, cameras are very different. As usual, the nuances lie in the little things, which we will analyze as part of our large review. Join now!

Place EOS 77D in the lineup

In 2015, Canon released a special modification of the Canon EOS 750D DSLR - the EOS 760D, an inexpensive entry-level camera with advanced controls: two parameter dials and an upper information display. Apparently, the experiment was considered successful, since it was decided to allocate such cameras in a separate segment in the next generation. The result of the development of this idea is the Canon EOS 77D.

The cameras are built on the basis of a 24-megapixel CMOS sensor with support for Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. She is responsible for fast and accurate focusing in Live View, that is, when sighting on the screen, and when shooting video. In addition, these cameras have the same phase-detection AF module, and when viewing through the viewfinder, 45 focus points are available. All of them are cross type, therefore, have high sensitivity and accuracy. A very solid characteristic not only for amateur, but also for the semi-pro class. Unlike the EOS 80D, the hero of the test is equipped with the new DIGIC 7 processor, it has a greater range of photosensitivity. EOS 77D can shoot at a sensitivity of up to 51200 ISO. From Canon EOS 800D, the novelty is distinguished by a small liquid crystal display on the top panel, two dials for setting parameters.

Thanks to the controls inherent in professional cameras, the EOS 77D is an excellent choice when purchasing your first camera. It’s easy to learn with her, and at the same time, it allows you to solve serious creative problems, conduct dynamic reportage shooting. New compact and lighter than the Canon EOS 80D. A kind of middle ground, the perfect compromise.
