Time to upgrade my T4i. In most all performance respects I have learned the 77d and 80d are alike. Size and weight differences don't matter and neither does weather sealing or video performance. I read the comparisons and probably the one thing that bothers me about the 77d are the comments it is like an upgraded Rebel with a more plastic feel than what the 80d has. The 77d is about a year newer than the 80d and has the Digic 7 processor instead of the 80d Digic 6. I don't know if that makes a performance difference between the two because ultimately, the word is the pictures look the same. In this case, the price makes the difference and I found 77d for $549 and 80d for $739 at *******&. However, I wanted to verify these were USA brand cameras and I learned they were not when I called the store direct. *********** and I jotted down the prices, but I can't find my notes at the moment. The USA models were higher priced, at least $100 more for each, but I think the 77d was about $250 cheaper when comparing the two. Because of this, I was leaning 77d before I even posted here, but over the last month, I've been waffling back and forth. I just wanted to know if there were any revelations or something I can't live without the 80d possessed, otherwise, I'm convinced the 77d is the camera that will suit my generalist picture-taking requirements. However, I've been getting more interested in taking pictures of birds and the 80d is faster all around, but nothing in my mind that will make a big difference, like 960 shots vs 600 shots, 1/8000 vs 1/4000, 7fps vs 6fps, 80d being the first statistic. Also the viewfinder has 100% coverage and brighter in the 80d while the 77d is 95% and dimmer. 77d has Bluetooth, 80d doesn't.
