The 77D was unveiled 6 years later than the E-5 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 77D matches up against the E-5 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 77D & Olympus E-5. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 77D Gallery & Olympus E-5 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to carry your camera, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizing simply by researching specs. The visual underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 77D and E-5.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 77D using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon 77D will result in greater detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern 77D should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
