They could have made this like $100 to take advantage of curious enthusiasts and the instagram types, but I'm shocked they didn't

You're right on the principle, and this camera is purposefully aimed at a subpar viewfinder experience. As a comparison point, many people shoot street photography "from the hip", aiming the camera at the rough spot they want to get with a forgiving aperture setting (around 8 or more). This help either for speed, or engage with the scene without having to stick a camera on one's face. I think this camera is basically…

Interesting you say this as I have been on my photography journey these last 2 years and keep hearing the opposite opinion: People "cheating" by using a low aperture so they don't have to think about the entire composition as it gets b…

This kind of advice was given before the advent of good enough autofocus where indeed you've rely on the machine to focus your imagine. But at the same time you delegate the choice of the subject to the machine instead of spontaneously capturing "everything".

Its cheating because you don't have to think about focusing your lens. At f/8 you have a reasonable hyper-local distance, and so for instance everything from 2m to infinity is sufficiently sharp. This kind of advice was given before the advent of good enough autofocus where indeed you've rely on the machine to focus your imagine.
