The Canon EOS 77D is a well-rounded and well-sorted camera. The ergonomics are great, Live View performance is superb and Dual Pixel Autofocus continues to impress.

The T6s earned a Dave’s Pick in 2015, and with the improvements made to this model, the Canon 77D gets the nod from us once again.

This will certainly be plenty of camera for its amateur target market.

The Canon EOS 77D offers a worthwhile upgrade to the 760D, giving an improved design, with better handling making the camera more comfortable to hold. Focus speeds are good in both live view and normal shooting.

The Canon EOS 77D is a solid, if rather uninspiring, addition to the extensive EOS range of DSLR cameras, essentially combining some of the key features of the higher-end EOS 80D with the body and control layout of the cheaper EOS 800D.

Make no mistake, the EOS 77D is a great camera. The picture quality is fi rst rate and it has all the features and controls needed to satisfy photo enthusiasts.

The EOS 77D is a very capable DSLR, but it's a hard camera to get excited about. It does a lot of things well, but there's nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd.
- Digital Trends 6/10
The 77D is a nice midrange DSLR, but it’s held back by a small viewfinder and a spec sheet that is identical to the Rebel T7i. It produces great images (and so-so video), but you can get exactly the same performance for less money by going with the T7i.
-
The Canon 77D gives you all the flexibility of a DSLR plus good battery life and a variety of inexpensive lenses to choose from, and video performance is also much better now.
-
If you've long been pining for a quality all-round DSLR camera than Canon makes a strong case in the 77D.

The Canon 77D is a fantastic camera for those of us who appreciate great pictures and ultralight weight.

I think it's really kind of well set up for that, so with the stabilization in body, in lens, easy touch control, the screen I can see, lightweight, I think we're on to a winner here.
-
The Canon EOS 77D, despite its new strange placement in the lineup, is a great little camera. It has its similarities to both entry-level and mid-range DSLR’s that it looks like it wants to sit in between those two categories.

[T]his will be one of the most popular cameras for 2017 and beyond, and if you're thinking about buying it, I'd highly recommend it.
-
I think straight away if you want to go vlogging with an APS-C. Sensor with a DSLR, this is the camera.
-
Considering its Dual Pixel AF and Live View shooting features, the EOS 77D is arguably a better choice than its Fujifilm and Sony rivals.
