I own a DSLR (Nikon D850) and a mirrorless camera (Fujifilm X-T3) and I vacillate between the two when thinking about whether I could live with just one system. Often I'll take say a bird photo with the Nikon, using the 600mm Sigma, and marvel at the speed of focus and the ability to crop in really close and get a good shot that fills the whole frame. Then I'll take some shots with the Fuji and marvel at the great colours and the fantastic resolution. If we disregard the weight advantage of the mirrorless and the (questionable) advantage of being able to see the image before you take the photo then it comes down to IQ.
So I decided to shoot the same shot with both cameras, making everything as equal as possible, using good quality lenses for both, and then compare. Both shots were taken in the kitchen, on a tripod, with small apertures, low ISOs and 10 second SS. The Nikon has the advantage of a low ISO 64.
There's not a huge amount in it but the winner is clearly the Nikon (and rightfully so given it's FF status and high megapixel count) but if you didn't have both images side by side to compare I don't think it would be clear cut. They are very close.
So it looks like I'll continue to vacillate :-)

So you are basing the usability of two cameras on ONE photo? Anecdote is not a synonym for data.
