A mirrorless is a lot closer to what they actually wanted, since in video, the DSLR mirror is flipped up the whole time anyways. That huge mirrorless lens is parfocal with zero focus breathing as the cause of its added size. Meanwhile mirrorless cameras typically add better
in-camera stabilization and faster readouts, while you don't find DSLRs with stabilization except for pentax which is notoriously shit for video, and DSLR sensor development has ground to a halt which doesn't bother a video fag because they never used the mirror. Literally a video fag's dream.
