No it does not. A majority of users need more than the base line provided by DSLR. There is no equivalence. The minority of users in studio controlled environment settings simply do not make that minority need equal to what most users will need.
Well, that's because they value them....

When I paint, I use brushes made of rare Northern Siberian Lynx hair that are the finest in the world. They can deliver 10cc more paint with every stroke.
I have a friend who is an expert watercolorist. She loves saturated colors. Found some special paints last summer that have more pigment and less binder than commercially available ones. She would love brushes like that, as long as the lynxes were not killed or harmed to harvest the hair. 10cc per stroke might be at least a little bit of overkill, though, even for her.

But not all individual valuing is equal. When 90% of users value flexibility and 10% want static boredom, that is not the same.
Understanding that difference is why Canon is ALWAYS going to be the market leader.

A woman's choice of a mirrorless camera tells you more about her than her perfume.

That is definite a truism.

Those two items are not functions in a camera. They are volitions.

You mean being able to come up with things people may want? That they can sell?

A polite “please check the faqs” would suffice. These discussions always spawn less than courteous exchanges.

Notice that most are simply opinions?

Other than providing a zillion AF points (which for the majority of my shots are pointless as I typically use either single point or a small group of points), or not requiring calibration, I’m not aware of what “processes” you mean or that mirrorless cameras in general provide better or faster AF, especially for fast moving objects. Please elaborate. I would just point out that the majority of working sports photographers are using DSLRs such as Nikon D4,5,6 or Canon ID, IDX series cameras. What I think is more accurate is that AF systems are constantly improving and as major manufacturers move to mirrorless, then newer cameras will have better AF - not necessarily because they are mirrorless, but because they are newer and more advanced.
Btw, at 28 pages, this thread likely isn’t the longest in history, but at this rate, it may be a contender.

Blah, blah, blah...a troll perhaps? I guess Covid Fever has got us bored again. Everybody knows the differences between the two types of camera bodies. DSLR is no better or worse, unless you want to create a billboard sized photo & mirrorless is no better or worse unless you feel the need for a EV, light weight kit, etc.

I do it because I got tired of fighting it. It's human nature and is never going to go away. In the end, it does no real harm, keeps our blood flowing, and exercises our brains, even if only a small corner of them.
