I suspect the "Rebel" moniker kept people in the US away from the T6s (it was called the EOS 760D in most of the world). Because the new Rebel-free EOS 77D looks like just like it, plus the same updates that Canon brought to the T7i -- it gets the 24.2-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS with 45-point phase-detection autofocus and the same metering system that are in the 80D. As such, it remains a marginally more advanced option than that with its slightly better build quality and top status display.

The update to Canon's higher-end but still entry-ish dSLR gets a new name, along with a much-needed refresh.

What's in a name? The EOS 77D may, at first glance, appear to be a new entry for Canon to slot between their Rebel T7i and EOS 80D. But dig a little deeper into the specifications and you'll see that the differentiators between the 77D and the Rebel T7i are about as significant as those between the...

Breaking tradition was the Canon EOS Rebel T6s / 760D. Canon had prior-introduced a long line of flagship Rebel models (T** or ***D models in some locales), but ... never had they introduced two of these at the same time. That was ...

Instead of following up the fantastic EOS Rebel T6s with a T7s, Canon has decided to call its successor the 77D ($899.99, body only), separating it from the Rebel line so enthusiasts will pay more attention.

Instead of following up the fantastic EOS Rebel T6s with a T7s, Canon has decided to call its successor the 77D ($899.99, body only), separating it from the Rebel line so enthusiasts will pay more attention. The 77D has a larger top information display than the T6s, adds a rear AF-ON button, which isn't included in any Rebel camera, and offers improved autofocus compared with the T6s, both when using the viewfinder and rear LCD. It's also a little more expensive, narrowing the gap between it and the better-built 80D, with which it shares a lot of technology. Because of this we're awarding Editors' Choice in our entry-level SLR category to its near twin, the Rebel T7i, which sells for $150 less. But if you're an aspiring shutterbug and don't want to spend the money on an 80D, the 77D is a more affordable alternative. Design The 77D ($949.00 at Amazon) looks more like the 80D than a Rebel in terms of size and shape. It measures 3.9 by 5.2 by 3.0 inches (HWD) and weighs about 1.2 pou...

Canon's EOS 77D, which was announced in February 2017 sits between the EOS 80D and the slightly lower-featured model, the EOS 800D, which was announced at the same time. Both models have the same 22.3 x 14.9 mm CMOS sensor with 25.8 million photosites (24.2 megapixels effective) plus a built-in low...

You've probably heard it time and again: " cameras are dying". Well, not if Canon has anything to do with it. The Japanese camera maker seems to be investing in a DSLR for every user level, with the latest EOS 77D fitting into the range beneath its 80D mid-ranger to carve out a new sub-category for...

Much of the 80D's spec at a lower price; great through-the-finder autofocus system; screen-based live view is great for a DSLR camera (especially with vari-angle screen); exemplary image quality

Lacks 100% optical viewfinder; no weather-sealing (as per 80D); screen-based live view isn't as precise as through-the-viewfinder; finish looks plasticky; no 4K video

The Canon EOS 77D is a fantastic entry-level DSLR. Sporting a 24-Megapixel APS-C sized CMOS imaging sensor, DIGIC 7 image processor, Dual Pixel Technology and so much more, this is a camera that is ready for today's media-controlled society.

Canon 77D has a real fast DIGIC 7 processor which is capable of shooting great quality images in various lighting conditions. Having the 45 focus points, it makes object tracking quiet easy and keep the subject in focus. At this price, this is one of the best choices but doesn't support 4K videos.

Fast DIGIC 7 processor; 45-point object tracking; image quality

No 4K; but you can shoot in 1080p at 50fps
