To recap

If you’ve long been pining for a quality all-round DSLR camera than Canon makes a strong case in the 77D. Sure, it’s roughly an 80D without the weather-sealing and a few additional features thrown in, but given how masterful that camera was in 2016’s market, it’s hard to shout the 77D down.
