100d vs 200d viewfinder

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.

but the 200d is 95% and 0.54 x

Exactly the same viewfinder.

Exactly the same viewfinder.

Then why does the 100d review say 95% and 0.87 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".

Because those are the correct specs for both the 100D and 200D. You asked about if they are different, and the answer is NO.

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.
