Ask HN: DSLR vs. MirrorLess cameras. Best resources for learning photography?

I want to learn photography and choosing a camera is probably the second and most important step for it (first being deciding what to take photo of and for what purpose).

I want to move beyond smartphone photography. I was aware of the term DSLR and started my research around it. During my research I stumbled upon the term MirrorLess. Further research showed that it is relatively newer technology (~10yr old as compare to ~60yr old DSLR tech). It's still maturing. I am unable to decide just how mature it is as of today.

I come across some articles like "https://photographylife.com/mirrorless-vs-dslr" which list pros-vs-cons of both. I found these very helpful, however these articles are mostly 2-3 years old, and I am not sure if landscape around cameras has changed since then.

I would like to know if MirrorLess can compete with DSLR at different price points like $500, $750, $1000+.

Also, what are some good resources (online videos, articles, books etc) for learning photography?
