Canon 77D has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 7 processor. On the other hand, Canon 7D MII has a
20.0MP APS-C (22.4 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 6 (dual) processor.
Below you can see the 77D and 7D MII sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 77D and Canon 7D MII Cameras
Canon 77D and Canon 7D MII have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Canon 77D and Canon 7D MII sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, 77D has scored 78, 8 points higher than 7D MII.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 77D
or the
Canon 7D MII ,
including hyperfocal distance.
