As you can tell, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 77D because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 77D will show extra detail due to its extra 9.8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger 77D provides an edge in sensor innovation.
