I think I will skip either one of these. Nikon missed the MILC target

these two cameras, but it is a start, so perhaps in 4-5 years they
will have
a good MILC which can replace the D850, 0r even the D500, but not yet. I
don’t think that Nikon has quite got the concept or mirrorless.

In my hardly informed opinion, the reason for being of mirrorless seems
to be many of the the advantages of DSLR without the size, weight and
cost. About right?

The Sony mirrorlesses, great cameras, are certainly not light (they have
that "hefty feel of hard quality") and are definitely not low cost.

I'd add other benefits: mechanical simplicity and therefore higher
reliability (that said, I've never had a shutter or mirror mechanism
failure).
