More often than not, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 77D and K-30.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon 77D to provide you with extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent 77D provides a benefit in sensor technology.
