For photography those 45 focus points and the 24 megapixels works great

The focus is faster, but I was expecting improved focus accuracy over a

Focus cannot be corrected in post, so autofocus is the camera

I started out using the Scene Intelligent Auto setting and progressed from there to Creative Auto mode

The creative modes are nice and will require some experimentation.

I’d like a “focus accuracy priority” mode

The top LCD display, scroll wheel, articulating screen and touch screen all make this a very user-friendly camera

For video bloggers, the articulating LCD, Dual Pixel AF (in face priority mode) and smartphone control make the 77D a great choice for the next ramen challenge or makeup tutorial.

I also have not frequently relied on the top LCD in my previous 60D, so I was not looking for a huge LCD window

Although a wee viewfinder, it's a “smart” one, featuring a transparent LCD overlay for display of AF points, grid and icons, aping EVF features

I prefer compact sensor cameras in general as the size of most of the full frame cameras has become really ridiculous both in size and in weight now.

However, you get a better sensor, resolution, and CPU than the 70D so the images are technically better.

was looking for a (Canon) APS-C/crop frame DSLR that would meet the following criteria, in no particular order: budget-friendly, articulating display, 1080p60 video, top screen, and relatively modern sensor/processor/AF

They both do you take great pictures, but from my experience the Nikon seemed to be more consistent

it’s very light compared to my canon t3i takes great pictures

If 4k video is important to you, look elsewhere or wait a year or two for Canon to wake up and add it to their midrange cameras as well, but in the mean time for 1080p video and awesome pictures, this camera is hard to beat in this price range!

As annoying as that is, I'm already invested in Canon lenses and I'm not a professional

Finally, the image quality of the 77D is excellent: sharp, low noise, vivid colors, accurate exposure and noteworthy high ISO performance

A small battery is a necessary compromise for a small camera: don’t expect the same performance as a big battery like the LP-E6N. Canon claims the LP-E17 delivers 600 still images with optical viewfinder shooting and, indeed, I squeezed out close to that number

While not perfect, the 77D is a darn good camera: polished ergonomics, excellent AF performance and ready and able in nearly any photographic situation

I've taken action shots with the kids and pressed the shutter as fast as I can and in a matter of a few seconds I have 10-12 shots, all of them crisp and perfectly focused

I love the touch screen, the fact that I can rotate the screen and see myself if I decide to vlog, the quality of the pictures are amazing (I paired the camera body with a 50mm 1.8 lens

Build quality:For me, the Nikon felt like a more sturdy and higher quality camera

I've taken action shots with the kids and pressed the shutter as fast as I can and in a matter of a few seconds I have 10-12 shots, all of them crisp and perfectly focused

Overall build quality is sturdy, and you have rubber grips on both sides of the camera

As annoying as that is, I'm already invested in Canon lenses and I'm not a professional

Has an amazing sensor and is a good size

I also like the smaller size and body of the Nikon.

I prefer compact sensor cameras in general as the size of most of the full frame cameras has become really ridiculous both in size and in weight now.

I like this camera a lot the right size and the ease of use i am still learning all about what the camera will do and how to use it to it best
