> Any mirrorless system has limitations on low light and latency (of reading the light and then displaying it on a separate screen).
Surely there is more latency, but on the most recent mirrorless cameras like Canon R5 it's not noticiable.
Low light there is absolutely no contest: R5's viewfinder is totally usable in situations where you'd see nothing but black in a DSLR viewfinder. Sometimes after going out at night with the R5 in the woods I find myself looking through the viewfinder just to get a better view of the path ahead.
The electronic viewfinder also makes it reasonable to build full time high ratio lenses that would be too dark to comfortably use through a viewfinder much of the time. For example, https://files.catbox.moe/fgxew8.jpg this image is 1/60th of a second ISO 5000 on a fixed f/11 lens. It would have been annoyingly dark on a DSLR viewfinder (and DSLR autofocus wouldn't function on an F/11 lens.).
