Will they be overcome? Maybe, at some point. Will that still mean that mirroless will replace DSLR, not necessarily. It's possible, but not inevitable. Much like Beta max never caught on and VHS did - there is a lot more in play than which technology is better, your looking at intrinsic market forces that will have far more long term impact on that question. I have no problem with a mirrorless system, I can see certain advantages to them that I rather like - but there are some disadvantages that will have to be overcome before they are really ready to be considered a replacment for the DSLR, and even if they do eventually get to that point that is no guarantee that they will replace the DSLR. For me though it's about features vrs price - not about the internal workings of the camera itself. I could care less if there is a little mirror inside the thing flipping up and down or not, what matters to me is how it performs in the real world. Right now I haven't seen a mirrorless system that could replace my DSLR, at least not effectively for the way I use it. Will that change someday? Sure, probably. Does that mean the mirrorless will completely replace the DSLR at some point? Maybe, but then again maybe not. As for these articles, for the most part they are poorly researched and they don't really give you a clear picture of the market as a result. They all start out with the same ridiculous premise, that the buyer is choosing to only have a cell phone/mirrorless/DSLR etc - and by starting from that bad premise they all fail miserably from there - because the truth is a good portion of the mirroless market does own more than just a mirrorless. So my issue here is with a badly written article based on a false premise, not with mirrorless technology itself.
I'm just surprised to hear some serious feedback from you. Usually it's just a comical one liner.
Well I do go a little more in depth on some things than others. A lot depends on subject matter and mood.
