TBH, a mirrorless with an adapter looks like it would feel and handle not much different than a straight DSLR body. The back plus the adapter pretty much adds up to the DSLR proportions.
The Z body is still feels much smaller even with the FTZ adapter. If I use a big honking lens, then it's similar. But with a 50mm or 85mm it still feels smaller.
That 24-70 f4 lens shown there, is one of the best lenses I've ever used. Anyone buying this camera without getting that in a bundle is making a mistake.
For me, the biggest difference between DSLR and Mirrorless is response time.
If I'm shooting on the street and need to almost instantly capture a crucial moment, the mirrorless camera is going to disappoint. It's gone to sleep and you gotta half press the button to wake it up and "then" shoot.
On the other hand, the DSLR (a D750) wakes instantly for a quick snap. I keep a 70-200 on that one.
Other than that, the mirrorless (Z6) is superior. The lowlight, handheld capability is astounding. I'm sure that's based on the ibis and the sensor. You can set the focus ring to control exposure compensation and you can basically preview what you're about to shoot. The S lenses are incredible. They're too expensive though. I'm looking forward to Tamron/Sigma making Z lenses. But the FTZ adapter works flawlessly.
