Agreed on both counts. It's a truism that the worse a camera looks, the easier it is to hold. Classic cameras are difficult to handle without a strap, and impossible in wet/sweaty conditions. By contrast an AF SLR is ergonomically in a different league. And yes, mirrorless cameras are incredibly power hungry if left in the on position many photographers favour. The difference between battery powered metering and autofocus, and screen, EVF and operating system is born out in the shot count between DSLR and mirrorless cameras. This can be as low as 15-20 minutes vs a day or more of hard use.
The default digital photograph is a screen viewed image. Very, very few ever reach hard copy. In film days everything was "analogue" (negative, slide, contact sheet) and most photographs ended in a print. The things manufacturers are pushing and consumers desire today, are predicated almost exclusively round the electronic screen. Either we embrace that reality, or we hark back (as I do) to the photographic print as a viable, unmediated, technologically mature, semi-permanent way of recording and viewing the world unfettered by plugs, monitors, hardware, software, cables and sockets.
What we can say in 2018 is reports of the death of film were premature. Whether it's on life support or in remission is as yet unclear.
