Sigma's aversion to built in viewfinders?
4

Why do you think Sigma doesn't put an EVF or optical viewfinder in their non interchangeable lens cameras, and now even their interchangeable FP.?

I recently bought a DP1M.  I like the images the camera produces a lot, I even like shooting with it, but IMHO and EVF or optical would have made this camera 1000% better.  Rear screens are useless for critical focus check and for use in full sun.

I get that adding an EVF would increase the size, but really by how much?  Sigma then goes on to offer huge read LCD viewers for the SDQs, or optical finders for the DPMs why bother, put an EVF in the camera already.

The FP is scary in the sense that if Sigma uses this form factor in their FF Foveon I would hate using it.

How many people hate using their DPM or SDQ cameras in full sun?

How many users would like the new Foveon to have the form factor of the FP?

How many would hate it?
