mirrorless vs. mirrorslappers is not öike aüples and oranges. it is like automobile vs. horse-drawn cart.
It would be a valid comparison for a film vs digital sensor cameras. I don't think it's applicable to the case of mirrorless vs DSLR where both represent the same digital sensor at the end. It's more like carburetor vs injector on a gasoline engine. If someone takes a picture with a DSLR and another one with a mirrorless - good luck figuring out which is which
well one might easily tell ... when one image is sharp and the other is blurry due to mirror slap and/or mechanical shutter shock.
And the images out of a mirrorless camera will likely be tack sharp whereas one out of a DSLR may be not due to back- or front-focus issues.
One photographer may be asked to leave the venue after rattling off a salvo of mirrorslapping shots during a wedding ceremony in church or at a classical music concert while mirrorless allows silent capture of great images without disturbing anyone.
One image of a dimly lit scene with AF hunting and pumping may still be tack sharp because the mirrorless photog simply switches to manual focussing with focus peaking on the EVF, whereas the mirrorslapper user just has to live with the stumbling AF system and misfocused or missed shots.
One image is well exposed out of cam since the photographer saw the scene on the EVF exactly as the camera sensor will record it. The mirrorslapper guy looks at the same scene through an optical viewfinder and has to guess what the camera will record. Back home he may wish he'd have a Sony sensor so he can push underexposed images by 4 stops in post ... ;-)
Mirrorless guy might be able capture great images of an extended alpine climb or on a backcountry ski randomee tour with decent, small and light camera and lens whereas mirrorslapper user has his big, fat mirrorslapper and assorted L lenses ... sitting back at home because the gear was too bulky, heavy and cumbersome to haul along.
