Canon 77D vs Canon SX50 HS

The following is a complete overview of the Canon 77D versus Canon SX50 HS, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are manufactured by Canon. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the 77D (24MP) and SX50 HS (12MP) and the 77D (APS-C) and SX50 HS (1/2.3") possess different sensor sizes.

The 77D was announced 4 years after the SX50 HS which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon 77D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX50 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going in to a complete comparison, below is a simple view of how the 77D grades versus the SX50 HS with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 77D and Canon PowerShot SX50 HS. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 77D Gallery and Canon SX50 HS Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon 77D provides outer measurements of 131mm x 100mm x 76mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.0") with a weight of 540 grams (1.19 lbs) whilst the Canon SX50 HS has dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 106mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 4.2") accompanied by a weight of 595 grams (1.31 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are employing at the time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the 77D versus the SX50 HS.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 77D and SX50 HS is 66 and 65 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specs. The picture here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and SX50 HS.

All in all, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 77D with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 77D will produce greater detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The fresher 77D should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
