I understand your frustration with Nikon. As cannon shooter, I can say that it could be worse. How long it will take for cannon to make a mirrorless that can take decent video and still. It is 2019 and I have to use my smartphone to take slow-motion of my kinds. Sad but true.
Your almost 20 years old sony 828 and my Minolta Dimage 5 are mirroless with decent EVF, and can take videos as well. The biggest Canon inovation was articulated touchscreen. Great achievement, but my 20years sony camcorder have articulated and touch screeen. Great job Canon with Canon you can.
BTW: Mirror is not dead. My rear view car camera is also mirrorelss, but I still have side mirrors :-) Mirror will not die as film is not dead yet.

Toni I have never seen cheap FF camera. Top salers come from 300-600$ cameras.
Canon promises to make FF for masses with 5d mk1. It fails. Try it again with 6d and it fails again. Nikon try the same way and achieve the same results.
