Agreed.

If Sigma came out with a fp version that had a built in EVF and/or range finder like OVF, it would be my one and only mirrorless camera.

I think the loupe gives the best viewfinder I've seen on any camera. It's only limitation is that it doesn't tilt, but I can see the advantage of having a fixed LCD for reliability.

The only problem of the EVF is its high price. Being optional and detachable seems like a good feature to me.

For those with much deeper pockets, I think a Leica SL line would be the best transition for prior Sigma shooters. Simple and straight forward menu system and outstanding OOC colors. I found Leica to have one of the most accurate exposure results (WYSIWYG). However, you got like the brick like weight of them.

At least with the economical Sigma MC-21 SA-L adapter, you'll be able to use your SA lens. AFS works just fine, but AFC is broken.

I think I'm going to ditch my Sony. Body is too small with way too many unnecessary options for my workflow.

If I wanted a traditional camera with everything permanently attached, I would go for a Panasonic S5.
