The size of viewfinder may not help you see all of it if you wear glasses like I do. The key isn't size so much as "eye point" or a similar spec, which is available for binoculars but apparently not cameras. ...

Maybe not commonly listed in DPReview, but Canon, Nikon, maybe others do list eyepoint as part of the viewfinder specs for their DSLR bodies. For the SL1 and SL2 it is "Approx. 19mm". Same as 77D and most other Rebels. Not as good as the 80D's 22mm, but better than Nikon D3400's 18mm and D5600's 17mm.

Agree.  As a glasses wearer, eyepoint as an important consideration when I'm shopping for a camera.
