Is it much smaller as I have read elsewhere?

On DPR the 100d review says 95% and 0.87 x

but the 200d is 95% and 0.54 x

No, the 200D is also listed as 95% and 0.87x. For some reason the editor included the confusing and irrelevant "(0.54× 35mm equiv.)". 0.54 = 0.87 ÷ the 1.6 "crop factor".

Actually, it is not irrelevant. 35mm equivalent shows how much smaller the viewfinder is compared to FF models. It is actually the .87x number that is confusing and quite irrelevant. But that is how things are done, so we have to live with it.
