To sum up, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon 77D to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent 77D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
