Canon 77D vs Pentax K-5

Following is a in-depth assessment of the Canon 77D vs Pentax K-5, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Advanced DSLR by manufacturers Canon and Pentax. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the 77D (24MP) and K-5 (16MP) but they feature the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 77D was released 6 years after the K-5 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a short overview of how the 77D grades versus the K-5 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 77D and Pentax K-5. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 77D Gallery and Pentax K-5 Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera frequently, you have to factor its weight and size. The Canon 77D enjoys exterior measurements of 131mm x 100mm x 76mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.0") along with a weight of 540 grams (1.19 lbs) and the Pentax K-5 has specifications of 131mm x 97mm x 73mm (5.2" x 3.8" x 2.9") having a weight of 740 grams (1.63 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the 77D against the K-5.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 77D and K-5 is 66 and 60 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic below should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 77D and K-5.

As you can see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon 77D to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger 77D is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
