Canon 77D vs Canon SX230 HS

Its time to examine more in depth at the Canon 77D versus Canon SX230 HS, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are manufactured by Canon. There exists a sizable gap among the resolutions of the 77D (24MP) and SX230 HS (12MP) and the 77D (APS-C) and SX230 HS (1/2.3") feature different sensor size.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Following is the front view physical size comparison of the 77D against the SX230 HS.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 77D and SX230 HS is 66 and 91 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing technical specs. The visual below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and SX230 HS.

As you can tell, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 77D having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 77D will result in greater detail with its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more recent 77D should have a benefit in sensor tech.
