DSLRs were launched two decades ago to replace cinematographic cameras. With just a few megapixels, very poor battery life and a low output overall, it was only reasonable that at first, most photographers were very doubtful. It took a few years to completely embrace digital cameras, and analog imaging was left to the enthusiasts rather than to the professionals. We have already seen a sharp change in the standing of the DSLRs in recent years. Mirrorless cameras and smartphones are increasingly popular with the average user. But there are more and more alternatives to old-school DSLRs also for experienced photographers.
Mirrorless Cameras are the Future
I agree that since they were first launched, mirrorless cameras encountered the same dilemma as DSLR's. At first, the new system was not very well known and suffered from some early drawbacks. The electronic viewfinder was a breakthrough but one that was very premature. The updated viewfinder offered merely advantages and innovative technologies in principle. There are various possibilities with overlays, such as maps, histograms or peaking emphasis. Yet online audiences weren't sticking to their commitments. It felt laggy, especially when moving the camera very quickly, the resolution wasn't perfect and the EVF has obvious drawbacks for the traditional optical viewfinder in this sense. However, the EVF's shortcomings were effectively extinguished easily into today. There is no noticeable lag and thanks to the development of CPUs, and the framerate remains constant while the camera is going quickly.
In addition to the EVF's obvious advantages, mirrorless cameras deliver other benefits as well.
Whereas high-end DSLRs can only take up to 14 pictures per second (or 16fps with mirror lockup) in burst mode, mirrorless cameras can now get up to 20 images per second. Owing to the mirror's physical limits, DSLRs can never progress in this region to the level of becoming mirrorless.
The mirrorless cameras are also designed to make them more lightweight and lighter.
It is quite clear that in almost every way, mirrorless cameras already beat DSLRs, and with the strong developments being put into mirrorless optics, they will only be going ahead faster. There were no clear options at the beginning stages of DSLRs, just decisions to use "old" analog cameras or modern DSLRs. Either or not you decided to make the transition to digital was a personal decision because there just weren't any options. The typical user did not have to purchase a DSLR until after digital compact cameras were released as a lightweight and inexpensive alternative to DSLRs. Yet a deliberate decision was also made by the compact camera, and consumers were still torn between purchasing a compact camera or a DSLR. It's new today, with the introduction of smartphones and their very high-quality sensors. While people who wanted to take a photograph needed an extra tool, they could just use the camera with them anyway and get good photographs. Some consumers would probably never understand why their mobile picture could be better than a DSLR. Spending money on a DSLR rarely crosses their minds because the camera they have in their hand already does a decent job.
DSLRs a Dying Tradition
It's no doubt, for me, that DSLRs will become redundant in the coming years. They are often useful in very narrow niches in the status quo, such as sports photography or even photojournalism. Rather than that, nearly any feature of mirrorless systems is much superior. It would only take some time for the public opinion to change and for DSLRs to go away for good. And unlike analog photography, it's very doubtful that in the future DSLRs will have a nostalgic appeal because other digital cameras will also be available, so all in all, they'll be very close. For a street photographer, having a DSLR being used is still very rare and it's only a matter of time before both photographers finally make the transition.
If you're trying to buy a new camera, save yourself the hassle and automatically look for the perfect, mirrorless camera.
Note:
EVF=An electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a camera viewfinder where the image captured by the lens is projected electronically onto a miniature display. The image on this display is used to assist in aiming the camera at the scene to be photographed.
