Canon 6D vs Canon 77D

In this article, we are comparing the Canon 6D versus Canon 77D, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Entry-Level DSLR and both of them are manufactured by Canon. The resolution of the 6D (20MP) and the 77D (24MP) is very close but the 6D (Full frame) and 77D (APS-C) possess totally different sensor measurements.

The 6D was manufactured 5 years prior to the 77D and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple view of how the 6D scores versus the 77D for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 6D & Canon EOS 77D. The entire galleries are available at Canon 6D Gallery & Canon 77D Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D provides outside measurements of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") and a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) while the Canon 77D has dimensions of 131mm x 100mm x 76mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.0") with a weight of 540 grams (1.19 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at the time. Here is the front view size comparison of the 6D vs the 77D.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the 6D and 77D is 59 and 66 respectively.

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements just by looking through specs. The graphic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and 77D.

All in all, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 6D because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 77D will render more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older 6D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
