New sensors with high read-out speeds (over 15fps for DX) will mean the
end of the DSLR as the premier sports and action cameras. Mirror-less
professional cameras are in the offing. Contrary to those who think
video cameras will take over, they won't; you can't really capture
fast action in single images at 30-120fps.

Well, I mean why not, and who would care? I don't think DSLR owners
have any particular fondness for mirrors flopping around in their
cameras. Once the mirrorless tech catches up to SLR functionality, why
would anyone cry over that? As long as we can use our current lenses,
and can get the same image quality under all conditions, why not?
There are certainly benefits to mirrorless.

I'll be able to tell you next weekend. My new Fuji mirrorless should be
here from B&H by the middle of the week. I will start with the two
major benefits lower weight & lower bulk.

I am going to have some photographic exploring to do.

....and by the end of May I should be able to see well enough to
understand just how bad my photography actually is. ;-)
