The 77D was brought out 9 years after the L1 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving straight to a full comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the 77D matches up versus the L1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 77D and Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1. The entire galleries are available at Canon 77D Gallery and Panasonic L1 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and dimensions.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes simply by checking a spec sheet. The image underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 77D and L1.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 77D due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 77D will give you more detail having its extra 17MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The newer 77D should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
