I didn't watch the video so I can't comment about what Tony says...but when Canon brings forth their FF mirrorless, will it have a sensor that competes with the likes of Sony and Nikons (D850 sensor)? I mean, really that's what it boils down to, right? Do people really want a full frame mirrorless or do they just want any kind of camera that has improved DR and can compete with the features of the Sony A7 line and the Nikon D850? I honestly don't care whether a camera is mirrorless or a DSLR, I just want to know that my camera isn't 2 years behind the current tech when I buy it (ie the 6D2) or crippled in some way.
Most of the DR differences between Sony/Nikon and Canon disappear by ISO 800. At higher ISOs, Canon's top end cameras generally have *better* DR and SNR than Sony and Nikon's top models.
If all you ever shoot is at ISO 100, you don't need Super Telephoto focal lengths (or T/S lenses, or 1-5X macro lenses, or...), and you don't need to worry about less than ideal weather, then Sony is probably the camera for you. But many photographers shoot most of the time in light that requires ISO 800+, and need to be able to shoot in the rain and snow.
Such photographers also generally spend more time trying to make a living with their cameras than spending time on internet forums measurebating about slight differences in camera/lens performance.
Such photographers are more concerned if the camera in their hand can reliably get the shot they need, not about whether the camera in their hands got a score 3 points higher than the camera in someone else's hands.
