DSLR pulled out of storage..
The fewer mirrors I have, the more freedom I have.

Well, the good news is that, once the poster's name is read, no need to waste more time on the endlessly repeated message.
Your post could be blank - we know what it says.

Awww ...
I look forward to his humor.
Every time I see this conversation come up on UHH I'm reminded of a demonstration in a Camera shop by a Ricoh representative, I think it was in the late 70's. They were demonstrating a new camera that had both aperture prefered autoexposure and (gasp! ) autofocus. Being my younger, smart-ass self, I asked the rep where the creativity button was. Now I take those technologies for granted and I'm pretty sure it hasn't degraded my photography (although some would say it hasn't improved it either).

I have been shooting digital with mirrorless cameras for quite a while. But my go to everyday camera, an OM-D EM5 mii, is back at Olympus for repair. ðŸ˜
So I pulled my DSLR out to use in the meantime. OMG 😳 it seems so crude!
First I can’t see the exposure, I can’t see light and shadow or the color that I am going to get. Then outside in daylight I can’t see the result. I had to move into shade to see the LCD screen.
Clearly the mirrorless saves me a lot of time in zeroing in on the desired exposure.
I used to shoot with a DSLR all the time and I loved it but it seems crude to me now.
By the way there is nothing wrong with shooting with a DSLR if that’s what you like. I’m just sharing my experience. YMMV.

For the reasons you describe, going from mirrorless to dslr is like driving a car on an unfamiliar road on a dark night without headlights.

Ansel Adams photographs are still amazing today, imagine the photographs he would make tody with a mirrorless...............(if you're sensitive to sarcasm go to the next reply)
If, as you write, you can't see the exposure, can't see the light or color..., I'd say take the lens cap off. Things work better after the lens cap is removed.
I have no problem seeing any of those things, and more. That's before I even look through, or at, the view finder.

Once you've tasted even a small bit of success, a DSLR will never do again.
I went mirrorless in 1969. There was a slight improvement in my large prints.
I purchased another mirrorless camera a few years ago. The slight improvement continued but takes a bit more work.

If I can take your comment literally, I would add how amazing it is what has been (and can still be) done with vastly less sophisticated cameras and without much, if any, post-production. I submit an example of an image made with an early-generation cell phone camera. I'm not congratulating myself; just providing a different perspective on gear and post: sometimes less is more.

Although others will have different preferences which I respect, I share your experience JD...my Nikon FF gear has not seen the light of day for a long time. Yes, the Nikon it is very good, but it is a bit like power steering, once I tried it, I didn't wish to return to "steering by Armstrong."
Cheers!
