Canon 77D Review & Video Test
So lets get started by first taking a look at the build quality and features of this new camera.
Now if you’ve ever used a rebel series camera from Canon, you’ll feel right at home with the 77D. It’s got a great feel to it when you first pick it up in your hands.
Compared to the older Canon T6s, which is the predessor to the 77D, not too much has changed in terms of the feel of the camera.
And thats a good thing I think. The 77D is right in that sweet spot size for a DSLR.
It’s not a small as a micro four thirds camera or a smaller DSLR like the Canon SL1 but it’s also not as heavy as cameras such as the Canon 70d or 80d.
Buttons are where you’d expect them and are easy to navigate and the menu dial at the top here has all of the manual and auto settings that you’d expect.
So overall the build on the 77d is great and should work well for most users.
By the way guys, let me know in the comments below, if you could win a Canon 77D or Nikon D5600, which would it be and why and I’ll take a look at your comments.

Let’s now turn the 77D around and take a look at the rear LCD screen.
Now one of my favourite features in DSLR’s over the last few yeas has been the inclusion of touch screens.
At first when it’s easy to think that they’re not useful, but the more that Iv’e used them, the more I’ve really come to appreciate them
And on the 77d it’s great, especially now with the new dual pixel autofocus.
Being able to select what you want in focus is as simple as touching the screen and your object will smoothly and cinematically come into focus.
The screen itself is really nice and even in bright daylight is easy to see. One thing I like about the 77d is that you can pretty much use the touch screen to do everything on the camera.
I’ve used some other cameras which limit you to just selecting focus with the touch screen and I think that thats a bit of waste, so this is nice to see.
Another great feature and one that I wouldn’t want to live without now is the articulating screen on the 77D.

Now I’ve been shooting with the Canon 70d for around 2 years now and one of my favorite features in the camera is it’s dual pixel Autofocus system. It’s fantastic.
And I was so excited when I saw that the 77d had it as well. And after testing it, i’m happy to say it works great.
To me cameras with dual pixel autofocus are by far the best on the market. Not only does autofocus work quickly, it’s also a very smooth and cinematic focus.

Now let’s quickly talk about some of the competitors to the Canon 77d.
The Canon T7i or 800d is a similar camera to the 77d and got released at the same time.
I’ve had time with both of these cameras and really like them both. They both have great autofocus and features.
Overall in terms of image quality theres almost no difference with these cameras but the main difference is really useability. I like having things like the top lcd screen on the 77d and the slightly large grip does feel nice.
Another camera you might look at is the Canon T6s which is last years model. I used that camera a lot and loved it.
It was a great improvement from the t5i  but I’d probably choose the 77d instead mainly because of the dual pixel autofocus in the new cameras.
On the upper end you could be looking at the 70d and 80d which as you know I love. Both of those cameras have the dual pixel autofocus so they’re quite even on that point, but one definite bonus on the 80d is it’s inclusion of a headphone jack.
I was a little dissapointed that that was left out of the 77d and i think it should be in here. So if you know you need that, the 80d will be for you.
On the nikon side you might be looking at the D5600 or the D7200. Both of those cameras are great, with the D5600 having a tilt screen as well. The D7200 has great autofocus in stills mode and it’ll be interesting to see how it compares to the 77d.

Let's now talk about the vide on the 77d. Overall I think we’ve seen some great improvements.
Useability for video is excellent with the articulating screen being very easy to use with the 77d.
Like I said before, being able to use the touch screen to pull focus is brilliant and really is very acurate.
The dual pixel autofocus is definitely a big upgrade from the t6s’s hybrid autofocus. It really does work well.
I Amazon dissapointed that they left out the headphone jack on the 77d.
So overall as you can tell I really like this new 77D. I think that this will be one of the most popular cameras for 2017 and beyond and if youre thinking about buying it, i highly recommend it.
