Eh, could be, if the 'microphones' are part of the flippy-bit. You could *have* a couple little Iphone strobes under there without needing a big reflector, ... it's unlikely to look good anyway, but a lot of people don't want to be like 'No can do' with their fancy DSLR.
Looks like a nice enough design, though, maybe *except* the articulated screen and taller-than-it-needs-to be mode-dial- in my off-eye line of sight.
Still not sold on this 'articulated screen' thing in a DSLR: not worth making me crowd the real viewfinder over some plastic in there, it's too bulky and fragile and case-penetrating for me to want to risk destroying a pricey camera over. I realize they're useful for video, but I don't want one till they're skinny and self-contained. The glass tech is coming down the pipeline, though.
Sony does come up with some nice designs, though, never could quite put it all together for someone like me, though. Have to admit the things I like about this remind me of Mzs's and the K-5, but nicely-done, looks like, overall, if it performs.
