...and that is exactly why mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras are
gaining favor. With the FF MILCs it is also a market Nikon, and Canon have
finally entered even though they did so 5 years late. They still have a way
to go to catch up with Sony in that market, and they are not even
contesting the APS-C, or M43 MILC market.

TEN YEARS late. The Panasonic G1 was launched in 2007. Nikon and Canon let others do the ground-work.

Sony released the F707 in April 2000. That was a mirrorless through
the lense view camera.
