Generally, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing technical specs. The image underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 77D and SX240 HS.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 77D due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 77D will produce more detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger 77D will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
