Answer
Mirrorless or DSLR — which should I buy?
Buy mirrorless. Every major brand has shifted its R&D, new lens lineup, and best autofocus systems to mirrorless mounts. DSLRs are still capable, but you're buying into a frozen ecosystem.

Are DSLR lenses still usable?
Yes — every brand sells an adapter so your old EF or F-mount glass works on the new mirrorless body, usually with full autofocus.
