All in all, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon 77D to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 18MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older 10D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
