Possible DSLR with I2C-Interface [not relevant]

Ahoy sailors,
it came to my mind if it is possible to take a common DSLR(or Bridge?) camera, remove the viewfinder and the monitor and use the jolla instead as controller for the camera.
The Pros:
-you get a (relative) compact (semi-)professional camera with good optics and a large chips (8+ Magapixels)
-you use the the display of the jolla as viewfinder and a native application to control the camera (updates/features for the future)
-images a saved to the jolla/sdcard
So would this be possible with the I2C interface to control the chips on the "DSLR" module by the jolla?
I2C doesn't nearly have enough bandwidth for live view, lack of I2C on the DSLR notwithstanding. You'd need to use BT or WiFi to transfer data.
