As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 77D featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Canon 77D will give you more detail having its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent 77D should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
