Mirrorless camers have been out for a while.
Does anybody know of a famous photorgrapher who uses one?
Or a Pultizer Prize winner? Or honorary degree or royal honors
recipient? Or whose work is in museum collections? Or even
one whose work fetches high prices in galleries and auctions?

What silly ass argument. The vast majority of the
pictures that you're talking about were NOT made
with SLRs, nor with Live View cameras. So, WTF
has any of that got to do with the current thread
and discussion ? You built a straw man and I hope
you brought plenty hot dogs and marshmallows.
How many pulitzer winners or famous artistes
drove Kias ? See, none. So no one today seeking
success in arts and communication is gonna see
any progress or success if they drive a Kia. Also
soy milk. None of them Pulitzers or Royals drank
soy milk. If you drive a Kia, drink soy milk, AND
use a live view camera, you are not following in
the footsteps of the masters and elders, and so
you have no street cred and your future is dim.
And don't be dabbling with SLRs neither. Almost
none of them saints of photography used those,
and the few that did were conscripted, and their
families held hostage by the SLR manufacturers.
They despised those clunky awkward noisy Rube
Goldberg contraptions.
You can look it up.
