Quite often, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 77D and E-PM2.

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 77D because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 77D will give you extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 77D provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
