"A brief tour reveals at the front, a remote sensor window..."
Nope, that's the focus assist lamp...
"no eye start optical viewfinder"
Yes it does - that's the two little windows underneath the viewfinder.
"When loaded up with a Sony DT 16-105mm f3.5/5.6 lens"
You realise this is an APS-C format lens, not full frame (that's the DT in the lens name), so you weren't really getting any benefit from that huge sensor or the viewfinder at all. Not really your fault if Sony couldn't be bothered to supply a decent lens...
