Again...I see the words, I hear the hype. I don't see the wonderful new images.
I would expect to at least see some comparison images from someone who has upgraded from, say, a D3500 (or even a D5500). But I've yet to see even one. And I'm in no way convinced that there is even anywhere meaningful to go from some of the best DSLR images that have been posted here.
I'm fine with claims of improved process and flow by those who have moved from what I would call "crippled" DSLRs or from cameras that don't even provide the option for photographer controlled operation (like my ancient Nikon CoolPix P3). If my mental capabilities decline over time, I may need the assists and crutches that the new cameras can provide to replace thinking that I might no longer be able to do for myself. Or help me if I become unable to continue to hold my camera steady enough.
But I still maintain that the "better" lenses do not provide any meaningful, real-world benefits over the best existing lenses, or that the best existing lenses could not be made even better.
And what I am willing to fuss about, like the OP, is what I believe is a very disingenuous effort to replace an existing product with a more cheaply made replacement, designed and implemented to be assembled by robots, then sold at a 50% price premium while trying to make those of us who choose not to buy think we are missing out on the new "miracle machine."
By the way, I never put glass packs on any of my cars, but if I ever felt that the sound of my shutter mechanism was making me anxious, I think I'd be asking my doctor if he could prescribe something that would calm me down a little bit.

Could it be that the reason you're not seeing any comparison shots is because some of the shots now being captured with inexpensive mirrorless cameras weren't, perhaps couldn't be, consistently captured with a comparably priced dslr, at least a prosumer dslr?
