Go mirrorless, this will not be obsolete.
Only the Canon EOS EF/EFs DSLR system will be 100% compatible with the new RF system. All other DSLR systems there will be problems if one wishes to grow into mirrorless as they all have limitations on compatibility.
The Canon R5 mirrorless will be ahead of the pack for some time to come it appears.

Ahead of the pack? When I look at currently available mirrorless options Canon is bringing up the rear.

I'd start with an advanced bridge camera: the Nikon Coolpix p950 or p1000, or the Canon PowerShot HS70. Learn the basics, then move to a camera and lenses with function and purpose in mind.

I think about this in three buckets:
1) Film
2) Rangefinders / Point and shoots (cropped sensor, everyday camera)
3) DSLR or Mirrorless (full-frame/ASPC interchangeable lens system)
If your friend is relatively new to photography, I'd point them to bucket 2. It's a good entry point and fun for all. It's a great gateway to the other buckets as well. It's affordable and is great for travel, which tends to be the main reason my friends ask me this question in the first place.

Especially Fuji's...

It’s all conjecture at this point.
And it sounds great if you’re looking for a video camera. We still have no idea what it means for still photography

A friend asked me recently what kind of DSLR he should buy. This is not an easy question to answer. First I would need to know what kind of pictures and what kind of subjects is he planning on shooting. I don't know the answer to that. Of course available dollars play a part too. But then, with changing technology, should he consider a mirrorless camera, the wave of the future.
I would be interested in thoughts on what approach to take to answer this question.

I think that if he goes with the Hasselblad H6D-400c Multi-Shot 100MP Ultra HD 4K Medium Format DSLR Camera you will have all the bases covered. A couple of compatible lenses and he will be in (hedge) hog heaven.

Haha. My first "brand new car" was $2,700 plus taxes in 1973.
That would be about $15,700 today. You might have to go used.

There are no limits to what you can accomplish when you own a mirrorless camera.

"Let Form Follow Function"! -
Lots of things to be considered before purchase. - Landscape, Wildlife, Sports, Action, Video, Portraits, (or 'All the Above') - Best of Luck!

All but one of my vehicles since that one have been used. No need to spend the extra bucks on brand new.
The longest I've retained so far have been 20 years (used 1995 F-150 Eddie Bauer Super Cab in 1997) and 14 years (1979 Chevy Impala wagon from Avis 1980?). The truck is still in the family!
(I'd love to have that 1973 Opel Manta Rally now! Black & orange, four speed, fog lights, SO much fun.)
