    Really, mirrorless is a win-win design, and my prediction is that 5 years from now all major DLSR cameras will be mirrorless.

    Except you get stuck with an electronic viewfinder, which is massively inferior to an optical one. IMHO.

    According to you. Why would anybody care how you define "AI"?

    If removing the CO2 from the atmosphere costs more than the damage it causes, it serves no valid purpose to remove it.
