If you add a mirror to a mirrorless camera, does that make it a DSLR?

no it makes it a DSL ...you need to put a spring on the mirror to make it a reflexe

Actually those mirror ‘cats’ have also been long known as reflex lenses! So it’s back to DSLR again!!!

And coincidentally Canon just recently filed a patent for a 400 f/5.6 reflex!

If it’s then mounted on a Canon 70D, would the two mirrors then create an infinite refection?
