All artists are willing to suffer for their work, but why make it worse with a DSLR?
I must be a glutton for punishment.

Thank you.
We all choose our own path and we will never unanimously agree which direction we should take.
For this reason, many things in photography will be debated for years to come.
I just wanted to make my reasoning for my direction clear this one time.

Wasn't there a story about the Donners who took the path less traveled?

The treasure will never be found on the path traveled most. It's only the adventurer who will find the great reward.

Yes, only once, and they didn't have a DSLR.

And your sitting around in the Windy City wondering how history might have turned out differently if they had had mirror-less cameras?.....😕

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which images came from the mirrorless cameras.

How does Art know that?

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage to change to a mirrorless camera.

Well the assertion of my original comment was that mirrorless aren’t better in low light because they’re mirrorless, but because they have newer sensor technology.

I don't think he's real. I think he's a mirrorless internet bot.

I'm also keen on the challenge. When I started with a film SLR it was the best option to give me the ability to try out different techniques (LF might have been better in some cases but it's still rather expensive).
Today mirrorless cameras open up techniques I can't explore with my DSLRs. I explore the challenge of getting images from all sorts of lenses - many of which could only do macro on a DSLR - I shoot wavelengths invisible to the eye, which become visible to my converted mirrorless cameras.
Point & shoot cameras generally have no interest to me, I have one for underwater use but otherwise leave them to the rest of the family (who shoot with phones). Unless on a truely giant digital sensor 200mp would out resolve any of my lenses, so that's unlikely to be an aim in any of my searches - a 5"x4" digital back might be nice & 200mp would be acceptable for that but keeping a house & eating are more important to the family. In reality 24mp has proved adequate for me.
Tech has not replaced technique, it does sometimes help it out but there's no need to use AF etc. Challenges abound whatever camera system you have. I doubt many more DSLRs will be released, but hopefully the existing ones will keep working for the rest of our lifetimes. I wouldn't want to play with any of my digital cameras that are more than 20 years old (I probably have 1 or 2 of them stuffed in a box/cupboard somewhere) but do still use one released in 2006 - I hope they do live long, but wouldn't want to limit myself to the things they do well.
