Canon 77D vs Olympus E-510

Below is a extended assessment of the Canon 77D and Olympus E-510, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Advanced DSLR by manufacturers Canon and Olympus. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the 77D (24MP) and E-510 (10MP) and the 77D (APS-C) and E-510 (Four Thirds) boast totally different sensor sizing.

The 77D was introduced 9 years later than the E-510 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the 77D matches up versus the E-510 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 77D and Olympus E-510. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 77D Gallery and Olympus E-510 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and size.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the 77D compared to the E-510.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 77D and E-510 is 66 and 69 respectively.

Normally, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The visual below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 77D and E-510.

To sum up, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 77D having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 77D will provide extra detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The newer 77D will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
