Often, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through specifications. The picture below should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 20D and 77D.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon 77D to give greater detail due to its extra 16MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged 20D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
