I expect that by 2020 that cameras with mirrors and pentaprisms will be antique technology.
Not based on current offerings. They are a long way off being a panacea for all photographic genre.
Then again, what do I know? I was present when the first trial production run of a new snack food took place. I said categorically they would never catch on as an alternative to crisps. They were Hula Hoops.
Having used the Fuji for bird photography recently, viewfinder black out and battery drain are a serious issue. They need to sort those two imposters out to win my vote for total mirrorless photography.
I regard them, as we do when looking back at the shoe size mobile phones we saw in the 80s. Whether they can, or have the will to, sort out the primitive nature of mirrorless in 2 years, is debatable.
Of course, the car industry has to sort out ITS battery life issues pdq ....so may be there will be technology spin off
