 The new Sony FX claims to have solved the viewfinder blackout. If that's true they have removed one of the big problems with mirrorless.

I believe the other mirrorless challenges are...battery life, battery life and battery life.

I also wonder if using existing Nikon lenses partially defeats one of the main benefits of mirrorless.....light weight.

The Fuji XT2 requires another two extra batteries in the grip to perform anywhere close to a Nikon. This adds significant weight. Their pro quality lenses also approach Nikons similar lens, weights.

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the Fuji is a good camera with several novel features....it just falls short on some of the basics that as a DSLR user I took for granted.

Nikon mirrorless needs to remember the basics.
