What's in a name? The EOS 77D may, at first glance, appear to be a new entry for Canon to slot between their Rebel T7i and EOS 80D. But dig a little deeper into the specifications and you'll see that the differentiators between the 77D and the Rebel T7i are about as significant as those between the...

I suspect the "Rebel" moniker kept people in the US away from the T6s (it was called the EOS 760D in most of the world). Because the new Rebel-free EOS 77D looks like just like it, plus the same updates that Canon brought to the T7i -- it gets the 24.2-megapixel Dual Pixel CMOS with 45-point phase-detection autofocus and the same metering system that are in the 80D. As such, it remains a marginally more advanced option than that with its slightly better build quality and top status display.

The update to Canon's higher-end but still entry-ish dSLR gets a new name, along with a much-needed refresh.
