Saying Goodbye

I disagree. Every major camera manufacturer is now offering mirrorless cameras and they are growing in popularity. The main thing sustaining the DSLR market (aside from conservatism and the reluctance to abandon an existing lens collection) is the faster focusing of DSLRs, especially where moving targets are concerned.

However the success of the on-sensor phase detection of the Nikon mirrorless cameras shows that this is only a temporary advantage.

The other advantage that DSLRs have is that only they offer full frame sensors. However, that is likewise only a temporary advantage.
