You see, so different are tastes 
I'm not trying to get you angry by saying: As it looks like a shrunk Canon EOS 1 whatever, I'm not surprised that you like it - while I'm sticking to the Sigma design. Of course, the tube looks stupid at first. And at second. But once you ask an owner (of 226?) of the older Sigma DSLRs, he/she would be quite happy to have NOT to buy new "mirrorless" lenses. For those people, as they were (with some reason) complaining not to have LiveView in their Sigma DSLRs but like their Foveon sensors, this concept IS a serious update. About ergonomics: At least it has an EVF, Canon EOS M3 needs that as an extra. Plus another adapter to use EOS DSLR lenses. Altogether about the same price as a Canon PowerShot G1x Mark II Premium Kit - but why are these prices constantly and massively decreasing?
While straight forward DSLR users just shake their head about this kind of thing. Now, you might want to tell me or others, why the big boys hesitate to introduce their idea of mirrorless APS-C or FF? EOS M3? Slow AF, no EVF, no exactly small when with EVF + lens adapter... Nikon V series which is not even close to APS-C?
The reason might be that they don't have the answer what to do with more than 100 millions DSLR lenses around and still make the new systems complete but not too big?
Sigma answered this question in their own way. We'll see if it finds customers. I'm sure they won't have to bother much about you
