Before delving into a thorough comparison, here is a short highlight of how the 77D matches up vs the WX1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 77D and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1. The entire galleries are available at Canon 77D Gallery and Sony WX1 Gallery.

Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 77D and WX1.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 77D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 77D will deliver greater detail due to its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger 77D should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
