The 77D was released 6 years after the SX210 IS which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 77D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX210 IS being a Compact camera.

Before getting right into a thorough comparison, here is a simple overview of how the 77D scores vs the SX210 IS in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 77D and Canon PowerShot SX210 IS. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 77D Gallery and Canon SX210 IS Gallery.

For anybody who is going to travel with your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have chosen during that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the 77D and the SX210 IS.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the 77D and SX210 IS is 66 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 77D and SX210 IS.

As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 77D because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 77D will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger 77D should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
