Why does my ISO double? Is it just the lower end models that do this? I dont think my previous 70D did that....this is a problem!!

Hi Rosy and welcome to the forum:
I am at a loss to understand your issues: the ISO rating improves with the higher number - i.e. it indicates what ISO the camera is capable of achieving, which is considered an asset.
See: Side by Side Comparison: Canon EOS 77D vs. Canon EOS 70D: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)
Specifically the 77D (released 2017) was a higher-end unit that doubled both the potential normal ISO range compared with the 70D (released 2013) - from 12,800 to 25,600 or, with ISO boost, (which is a digital manipulation) from 25,600 to 51,200. Compare those values to the fabulous R6 MkII (released 2023) with a maximum native ISO of 102,400 (expands to 204,800).
However, those maxima are somewhat theoretical values as noise increases with ISO value, and I would not personally have ventured bast 3,200 or 6,400 myself for either of the models you mention.
If you have an issue, can you please expand upon that with a bit more detail?

The ISO on my 77D is 100-200-400-800-1600-3200, etc. It was not like that on my previous 70D. Can I change it so I 1/3 stops on the 77D?

Yes. It is in your manual or you can browse the Red section in the menu

I've looked, and its not there. It's just exp comp that can be changed to 1/3 stops, not ISO.

Greetings,
Looking at this now. I think you are correct.
70D
77D
I'm not seeing a way to adjust ISO increments in the C.Fn menus. Only EV as noted.

Thank you for your extensive research! I do appreciate it!
I was considering selling the 77d for a 80d or a 70d. However, price gouging seems to be in full effect this month. I bought my 77d with the kit lens & 3 batteries (on ebay) for $300 just a few weeks ago. Now, prices are EXTRAORDINARILY high every where!

Greetings,
Buying from eBay can be extremely risky. For your own piece of mind, consider Canon Refurbished, KEH or the used Depts of B&H or Adorama. You want to buy gear from an authorized Canon Dealer, or at the very least KEH who is qualified to inspect and certify gear, plus offer a warranty and right of return for a purchase.
eBay is full of scammers and people peddling junk. You might get lucky, but if you don't there is no recourse, leaving you with nothing but a headache or disappointed. Photography is not an inexpensive hobby and you typically get what you pay for.
