I used to be a big photography hobbyist and I'm slowly getting back into it. My interests were a) street photography b) portrait lighting / controlled lighting with remote strobes (a.k.a. strobist).
I've owned Canon EF gear for decades, and the 'most recent' which is now old, is a 6D, and my best lens is a 35mm 1.4L from the early 2000's which I love.
A few years ago I invested in Fuji gear, including the X100series and a XT-4 with two prime lenses.
A couple of points.
1. DSLR's have big sensors and lenses. The 6D with lenses like the 35 1.4 which I have, and the 85 1.2 which I rented, have INSANE bokeh and low light performance. I don't claim to have a science background, but it's pretty well established that a bigger sensor size (the 6D has a 35mm size sensor) and a large aperture contribute to low light performance - the bigger aperture because you have a faster lens (it needs less light/you get away with a [edit] faster shutter speed) and less noise (the larger sensor has less noise artifact happening). This gives you a fair amount of creative flexibility in your settings.
I thought about selling the 6D and the 35 but I'm having trouble 'letting go' even though I haven't used them in a while (and they are huge and heavy)
2. DLSR's have a hella lotta weight to them. When traveling, I used to travel with the 6D and a bunch of lenses (some I now sold including a 70-200 F4L with which I took pictures I'm proud of and want to keep forever). Well the stress of filling 30-50% of your luggage space with camera gear and nervously waiting your suitcase in the airport conveyor belt is one thing I don't miss, nor having to pick and choose which lenses on a hike.
3. Mirrorless has unlimited shutter speed, practically, since it's electronic. If you want to shoot against the sun, and turn your shutter speed so high that the world is dark, and you have controlled lighting with a probe, you can't do that with a 6D due to the slower shutter speed, since it's made up of physical curtains. This gets cool effects outdoors.
4. Mirrorless are obviously better street cameras, since they fit in your pocket / hand and aren't as visible. Once I got into a concert where no cameras were allowed, because the rule was, no cameras where the lens is removeable are allowed (that's only for paid pros in the concert).
5. Subjectively: I'm having a LOT of trouble steering myself away from the DSLR mindset, I'm finding myself reluctant to use the XT-4 for portrait type work. And I think I'm selling the X100F since I prefer 50 EFL instead of 35 EFL for the street.
