With Canon’s latest offering, the EOS 77D seems to offer a mixed bag of features for the prosumer. Natasha Desai puts it on her test bench.

When Canon announced the EOS 77D earlier this year, they also announced an affordable version, the 800D (Rebel T7i) along with it. With the same innards and little difference, the two cameras are aimed at the serious enthusiast and the amateur, respectively. While they vary in price, they also vary slightly in design and customisability. We got our hands on the 77D and set out to test it. While the camera is not said to be an upgrade of the 80D, which we reviewed last year, it carries many of it’s features and betters it.

Features

A serious photographer will find a lot of value in the 77D. It differs from the 800D by offering dual dials for control. And, the mode dial rests on the left instead of the right. An additional LCD panel lies on the top right of the camera, along with an AF On button on the rear. It’s slightly less amateurish-looking and bares the face of Canon’s higher-end professional lineup, and resembles the 80D closely.

The next generation processor, DIGIC 7, powers the Dual Pixel AF. The 24MP APS-C CMOS shooter also comes with 45 AF points, which are cross-type, ensuring accurate locking on to the subject. From these, 27 work with apertures of f/8, should you want to use the camera with teleconverters. Although, the menu does not offer as many AF selection modes like the 80D, and is restricted to Auto and Manual selection. The AF also claims to be extremely responsive in low light, which we found to be true. While it offers the usual array of creative filters, it strangely does not allow basic in-camera RAW editing options.

The optical viewfinder does not offer full coverage like the 80D, which means you might find objects creeping into the edges of your frame.
