I did a little poll with my possibly impossible but still, imo, interesting suggestion.
+1100 votes with 70% thinking it sounds cool.
What if Canon just added a built in optional EVF and called it a day?
First let me say that Im pro mirrorless. I use both extensively as anyone that follows me know.
And we are taking about Fullframe here, leave Fuji and MFT out of it.
In general lenses doesnt get smaller with mirrorless, they get bigger. Its just laws of physics, they just ad extra length to make up for the shorter flange. Unless they have a smaller sensor and/or slower aperture. (They can somewhat get around it with software correction.) So there really isn't any size difference in fullframe worth mentioning once you put on exotic glass. And often it just gets unbalanced in my personal opinion.
Ibis, instant focus in liveview with burst and no blackout, peaking, etc, all that exists in similar sized DSLRs today. The only thing really missing is an EVF. Which at the end of the day is just a "pretend" viewfinder, a tiny screen in a hole.
I'm thinking something pop-up, like in the X-Pro2/x100f. Then you have a true hybrid with the benefits of both systems like the DSLRs extremely fast AF and OVF, even in dim light. Also, then they can simply keep the EF mount which have exotic f1.2 lenses already.
Just a thought, not even sure if its possible
