As you can plainly see, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 77D featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 77D will resolve extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 77D provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
