I'm not super familiar with the past Sigma bodies but I didn't notice any mention of IBIS or other stabilization. Is that not present in Sigma F bodies?
If the above is true, what's the benefit over the Lumix S9 that is over $1K cheaper? Option for external EVF and internal memory? Looks like it's the same sensor and the stabilization not the Lumix seems to work quite well.
I'm primarily an S3/Q3-43 shooter but I bought an S9 to serve as a combo L-mount emergency back-up, small camera for family gatherings including loaning to said family. And... while the image quality is great, I never use the damn thing. I found that I'm not happy without an actual viewfinder, EFV or optical.
I'd be tempted by the new Sigma despite the price if it had stabilization and the described optional viewfinder.
