Full test EOS 77D<br />
The VErdict<br />
The EOS 77D is a good camera, but is there really a gap for it?<br />
T<br />
he EOS 77D is a very capable DSLR. It does a lot of things well:<br />
image quality is very good, while the Live View performance is the<br />
best we’ve seen in a DSLR. There’s also the polished touchscreen<br />
controls, helpful interface and decent 45-point AF system. However,<br />
there’s no 4K video capture, the viewfinder offers only 95% coverage<br />
(and it’s a cheaper pentamirror design as opposed to pentaprism) and the<br />
plasticky finish doesn’t quite chime with the price right now. The EOS 77D<br />
risks being caught in a kind of no man’s land – if you want an entry-level<br />
DSLR the Canon EOS 800D – or even one of Canon’s older but still current<br />
models – might be the one to go for, while those looking for something<br />
more advanced should spend the extra to get the EOS 80D.<br />
seen from the older 760D, and the<br />
EOS 77D delivers pleasing JPEG<br />
colours, though they can perhaps<br />
look a little muted when up against<br />
rivals with punchier colour output.<br />
If you want to give your JPEGs a<br />
little more ‘bite’, opt for one of the<br />
picture styles, or shoot Raw for<br />
complete control.<br />
With 24 million<br />
pixels, the EOS 77D<br />
offers the most<br />
resolution you can<br />
get from a Canon<br />
dslr without<br />
going full frame<br />
At lower sensitivities shots<br />
appeared very clean, but when<br />
you start increasing the ISO the<br />
EOS 77D really impresses<br />

VERDICT<br />
Pros: Excellent image quality, 45-point<br />
autofocus system, great Live View AF<br />
performance, touchscreen interface<br />
Cons: A little plasticky for its price,<br />
no 4K video, good but not stellar<br />
continuous shooting speed<br />
We say: Make no mistake, the EOS 77D is<br />
a great camera. The picture quality is first<br />
rate and it has all the features and controls<br />
needed to satisfy photo enthusiasts. We<br />
particularly love its performance in Live<br />
View mode, where it feels as fast and<br />
responsive as the latest generation of<br />
mirrorless cameras. However, it does feel<br />
like a range-filler rather than a genuinely<br />
new camera, using tech already available<br />
in the EOS 80D. It’s not cheap, either.<br />
