Maybe it was 2008. Memory is fuzzy back that far.
It was a Panasonic DMC-G1. I am using an OM-D EM-5 Mii now with my M43 kit.

I purchased my first mirrorless digital camera in the spring of 2001.

That’s nice work! I have a feeling whatever camera you were using, would turn out great images while you were using it.
Ditto!

He's wrong about most of what he says. I don't pay any attention to him.

I shot Nikon SLR and dSLR equipment for decades. A... (show quote)
My current equipment for wildlife is, Sony a9 with Sony 200-600 and Sony 600 f4 and my Nikon D500 with Nikon 500 PF 5.6.
My current equipment for everything else is the Nikon D850 and D500, with 24 1.8, 50 1.8, 85 1.8, 16-35 f4, 24-120 f4, 60 and 105 D micro lenses, and the Nikon 70-200 2.8 FL.
I do not need mirrorless for landscape and portraits, just wildlife is where mirrorless shines.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.

A mirrorless camera is not a DSLR?
The 'R' is reflex, as in the flapping (reflex) mirror of this legacy design. DSLR - Digital Single Lens Reflex.
A mirrorless is MILC - Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera, assuming the mirrorless body accepts different interchangeable lenses.
So no, a mirrorless is not a DSLR.

My Canon T3i with it's 5 lens has been on the shelf in this room for the last 3 years with no useage. Due to the 4 other Canon's I do use. 2 G16's , an SX50 and an M50 with 3 lens plus adapter for the ones for the T3i.

That sounds like a DSLR you should turn back into cash, even for the modest amount it will fetch from a near-guaranteed buyer such as KEH.

Hey, you can sale to us some of the lenses, here in Kenya mirrorless penetration is not that much and the prices are exorbitantly high. I won't mind a few of the nikon lenses😊

You have the nerve to question the Oracle of Canon. Thou art brave my friend.

I to transitioned to mirrorless with Canon. I don't use the back screen and still view with the eye view. So the handling is the same. The improvements are in the quality I get from the cameras upgrades and the new lenses.

I shot pro Nikon, Canon and Leica gear for over 40 years, and moved over to Sony mirrorless back in Jan. 2017 and have never looked back.
I have owned Sony A6500, A7RII, A7RIII, A7III, A9 and now currently own Sony A1, A7RIV, A7SIII. I currently have 13 native E-mount lenses from 10mm to 600mm from Sony , Sigma and Tamron, and I kept one Canon lens, the Canon TS 17mm f4 Tilt-Shift lens which I use on my Sony bodies with the excellent MC-11 adapter.
The advantages and tech innovations of mirrorless are something I use every shoot. Never going back to my ole DSLRs which I did make the most of in my 48 year photojournalist career around the world shooting all subjects, including war coverage.
As also a longtime Professor of Photography at a state university, I have taught and mentored hundreds of young photographers helping them learn and enjoy photography, and some have gone on to their own creative careers in photography.
Cheers and best to you.
