Canon 90D VS 77D – Check Which One Is Best & Why?

Canon

Canon 90D was released in Aug 2019 & 77D was released in Feb 2017. Both Cameras are Amazing with some similarities & differences, but if you are looking for the best one with better photo & video quality, I would recommend the Canon 90D rather than the 77D.

Why Do I recommend Canon 90D?

  • Canon 90D has 33 megapixels APS-C Camera sensor, whereas 77D has 24 megapixels APS-C sensor. A better megapixel camera helps to capture images and videos in higher Resolution with more details.
  • The Maximum sensor resolution of 90D is (6960 x 4640) whereas 77D is 6000 x 4000, which means 90D  can provide you with better-resolution Images and videos with more Details.
  • The light sensitivity of the Nikon D750 is 100-12800 ISO & expandable to 50- 51000 ISO, but the D610 is 100-6400. You will get 2 times better low-light & tough-light photography with Nikon D750 than D610.
  • Its continuous shooting speed is 11 fps, Which means it can take up to 11 pictures in a second, whereas Canon 77D can take up to 6. To do that, you just need to press & hold the shutter button. This feature gives you more options to select the best shoot from 11 of them.
  • Canon 90D is built with the latest DIGIC 8 image processor and 77D is built with DIGIC 7 processor. DIGIC 8 processor is built to provide better autofocus, faster Image processing, better resolution and it consumes less power to run for extra time.
  • The battery power of the Canon 90D is super. It can shoot 1300 pictures on a single charge, whereas the Canon 77D can shoot only 600.
  • Canon 90D can record high-resolution 4k video, while 77D can shoot only 2k video. With Canon 90D, you can record beautiful 3840×2160 realistic video with every single detail.
  • Canon 90D can record (3840 x 2160) Video at 60 FPS, which helps to record fast-moving objects without getting blurred. Canon 77D can record only 1920 x 1080.
  • The shutter speed of the Canon 90D is 1/8000, which helps to capture super-fast moving objects without getting blurred, Like racing cars or bikes. Canon 77D shutter speed is 1/4000.
  • Anti Flicker feature is available on Canon 90D that helps to reduce uneven color and exposure under flickering light, but Canon 77D Doesn’t have it.
  • It has a focus bracketing option, which allows you to take several images with different points of focus. 77D doesn’t allow you to do that.
  • It has an environment-sealed feature that lets you capture photos in harsh weather. Canon 77D does not have this feature, that’s why using this camera in rough weather is not recommended.

Maybe the Canon 77D price can make you comfortable because it’s little bit cheaper then 90D. But you have to compromise all the above-mentioned features. Now the choice is yours. I hope it was helpful to get the right one.
