Canon 77D vs Nikon S3600

Let's examine more in depth at the Canon 77D and Nikon S3600, former being a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Nikon. The sensor resolution of the 77D (24MP) and the S3600 (20MP) is relatively close but the 77D (APS-C) and S3600 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The 77D was announced 3 years later than the S3600 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 77D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Nikon S3600 being a Compact camera.

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the 77D grades vs the S3600 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 77D & Nikon Coolpix S3600. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 77D Gallery & Nikon S3600 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera frequently, you have to take into account its weight and volume. The Canon 77D has outer dimensions of 131mm x 100mm x 76mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.0") and a weight of 540 grams (1.19 lbs) whilst the Nikon S3600 has sizing of 97mm x 58mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.8") with a weight of 125 grams (0.28 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you choose at the time. Following is the front view size comparison of the 77D compared to the S3600.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the 77D and S3600 is 66 and 96 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The photograph below might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 77D and S3600.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 77D having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 77D will result in greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer 77D provides an edge in sensor tech.
