Canon eos 77d vs pentax kp?

The 77D and the KP are close on paper: both are 2017 DSLRs with roughly 24-megapixel APS-C sensors. Which one I'd pick depends on how you shoot.

I'd lean towards the KP for everyday use. It has in-body stabilisation, so older lenses steady up, and it's weather-sealed with swappable grips. Old manual K lenses fit it directly. A good everyday zoom is the Pentax HD DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR.

The 77D has the bigger lens list, so it's the simpler choice if you want lots of Canon EF and EF-S options. It has no in-body stabilisation, so pick a stabilised lens such as the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.

If the crop factor is new to you, the sensor sizes guide explains it. You can also compare the full specs on the Canon EOS 77D and Pentax KP pages.
