All in all, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 77D to resolve more detail due to its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer 77D provides an advantage in sensor tech.
