Thanks, everyone. The discussion was helpful. Guess I'll stick with my old D700. It's bulky, heavy, and solid as a rock. I didn't see enough pros for mirrorless to make the switch.
Sensible response.
When you find there's something you can't achieve with your existing camera to get the result you want, that's the time to consider new equipment

My word. What are you...12?? That is terrible absolutely terrible. I thought being a troll was frowned upon. I don't know much about trader john. I can tell you I want to know even less about you. Very sad and uncalled for.

Pro for mirrorless - Size and weight, live histogram in the viewfinder - In body image stabilisation. Also some good lenses.
Con - reduced battery life - not as good as focus tracking as my DSLR - about 1 stop noiser at higher ISO values.

My D7200 has histograms on my screen and they stay there if I want them to for every shot.

For a DSLR, that Live View is the 'live' sensor data routed to the camera's rear LCD. The mirror is lifted and held up in this 'special' DSLR configuration. You can zoom into the focus details. For a mirrorless camera, that same display on the LCD exists. But, that same Live View presentation also exists in the camera's electronic view finder EVF, always, including the 10x zoom, histogram display and other configurable information. For many mirrorless cameras, this function requires no special configuration. Hold the camera to your eye, and the EVF displays the data. Lower the camera from the eye, and the rear LCD displays the data. No buttons, no delay, all automatic.

Same with my Sony a9. And, as a matter of fact, while looking through my viewfinder and adjusting the exposure compensation, I can watch my histogram move, so I can in real time adjust my photo to my liking and see if the histogram concurs.

How about in your viewfinder?

I'd just like some opinion from those who have shot both mirror and mirrorless cameras. Pros and cons of each. Thanks.
The only disadvantage for mirror-less I have experienced is ergonomics compared to DSLRs. And after some time you get accustomed to the new camera and that advantage disappears.
I have shot with Fujifilm, Nikon, Canon, Olympus and Panasonic and Sony...M4/3, APS-C and FF over a span of 16 years.

I guess mirrorless cameras are always live view. In the DSLR live view opens the shutter and reads the photosites and displays a jpeg equivelent to the led screen. Mirrorless does that too, but it also sends that view to the to the viewfinder. So you are right live view and mirrorless are the same or similar in that way.

It’s a live image, video, not a jpeg.

Sure but the preview in the evf is a simulation based on the jpeg curve and settings not the raw. Each photosite records only red or green or blue, but the view has to be interpolated for us to see something that looks like an image.
