If there is any way you can afford the extra $100, then the 77D has some VERY significant improvements over the T6s, esp for birding, low light, and video.

T6i vs 77D specs

Of note is the more capable AF. Not only do you get 45 points (all cross-type), but the Zone AF is more flexible too. You also get f/8 AF points (9 are cross-type), and the low-light AF sensitivity is increased from -.5 EV to -3 EV.

Frames per second goes from 5 to 6 for your BIFs (also good if you use "Poor Man's Image Stabilization" ie: shoot bursts in low light and cherry-pick the best). You get Digic 7 and better Dynamic Range from this sensor.

Speaking of sensors, the 77D incorporates the new DPAF sensor which literally transforms Live View shooting, and Video AF simply has to be seen to be believed.

Exposure Bracketing gets more options, as does White Balance. Also the flash is a little stronger, the shutter lag a little less, and the RAW buffer much increased (think BIFs!).

And if this isn't enough, the 77D is a wee bit smaller in all dimensions, and even lighter than the T6s.

Have we got ya convinced yet?

Happy shopping!
