Simultaneously announced alongside the T7i last month ahead of CP+, the new Canon 77D features an altogether similar imaging pipeline as its Rebel-series sibling, housing a high-res 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and the latest-generation DIGIC 7 image processor. Where the 77D differs from the T7i is mostly down to body design and ergonomics. We'll get into all the details about the 77D's handling and performance once it hits the road for a Field Test, but for now, we have the camera undergoing its initial lab testing and our Canon 77D First Shots series of lab images are now fresh for pixel-peeping. Like the T7i, the 77D has bit more range across the ISO scale compared to earlier models, like the T6s, offering a native ISO range of 100-25,600, with an expanded high ISO sensitivity of 51,200.
