Mirrorless vs regular cameras... Opinion

The progress is in the sensor, nowhere else.
The idea of using a display instead of through the lens is reverting to old time when folks were looking from above to focus...
Issues with the display...
- LIGHT!!! If too bright, good luck using the display.
- Eyes issue If one needs glasses all bets are off, there is no way to adjust for that but use the tiny in camera display in the 'view finder'. Go check for accuracy on that since the display is made of tiny pixels vs 'a normal light' (analog)
- Weight unbalance. (Light body, heavy lens)
That is one of the few reasons why I will not upgrade to mirrorless, even if I do appreciate the new sensors.

Please, it's more than newer, bigger, stronger sensors.
It's also the newest, biggest, strongest processors.
It's also IBIS.
It's also focus assist.
It's also focus peeking.
It's also smaller(ish) size with the removal of space needed for a flapping mirror.
It's also the EVF.
It's also newer and sharper mirrorless lens designs.
It's also adapting legacy SLR lenses from any brand.
It's also no mechanical shutter and bursts in the 30+ per second range.
It's also advanced eye-tracking AF.

You're right it's all about the sensors & I for one like seeing in real-time

Like I said, nothing earthshaking there for me.

Now is the time to make real the promise of digital mirrorless technology.

Nonsense!
Without the mirror the lens mount flange distance can be reduced permitting avoidance of retro-focus wide angle lenses. I have a wide angle lens (80 degree angle of view) for my mirrorless camera that has 0 distortion. Find a similar 80 degree angle of view lens for you DSLR with 0 distortion -- good luck on a fools errand.
The EVFs on my mirrorless cameras provide live-view exposure aids that aren't possible using an OVF. Those live-view exposure aids permit me to nail every exposure with total accuracy. No chimping, no second guessing the meter, no bracketing.
For both those reasons I will not go back to a DSLR.

As you go through life, you will see that there is much we don't understand. The only thing we know for sure is removing the mirror makes a better digital camera.

Why?
Because I must convert?

If you want to be a better photographer, there are two things you must do above all others: buy a mirrorless camera and use it.

I believe "use it" works in general.

You make a point there are advantages -- All I can live without -- As said-- Nothing earthshaking

Imagine your life as a successful photographer. Does your camera still have a mirror?

Sure, why wouldn't it?

I'm an amateur photographer and have the snapshots & mirrors to prove it
