We gave up a lot to carry these black mirrors around.

Are you sure you don't just want another camera stuck to the back? Maybe you have one too many external ports?

The battery is kind of important so any place that could be used for a gimmick is better used for a bigger battery. Back then I don't think anyone cared about battery size. I just charged my phone when it ran out.
