You really think the ML crowd is vocal?
We have one member who constantly trumpets the mirrorless idea, and his handle is the same as Darwin's ship...
HMS Beagle?
Battery life may be a real issue if you’re doing it pro. Photography is a hobby for me so I seldom do more than a couple hundred shots at a time. The only time I’ve run out of battery is doing time lapse shots but if you’re switching and doing it pro, you may want to have several extras.

In my experience, it is not the number of shots, but the "power on" time that determines battery life on a mirrorless camera.

Probably. I’m sure the rear lcd takes a good amount of power. Even when that’s off the evf is running. Ive wondered too about auto focus and changing aperture a bunch since those are mechanical functions.
The AF on the larger pro lenses probably take more power to run (more mass to move to focus), than the AF on the smaller consumer lenses.
I think a major power sucker is the active sensor.
Yes, battery and viewfinder lag time are probably the two biggest performance differences between D-slr and mirrorless cameras. The difference between having a camera that needs five batteries to cover a 3 and 3/4 hour football game and ONE charge on ONE battery to do a whole weekend is why the majority of professional sports shooters still shoot "dinosaur" d-slrs from Canon and Nikon.
Agree, I use my dSLR D7200 for fast sports, where my mirrorless Olympus OM1 does not do the job. In fact it was sometimes quite frustrating to use.
I TRIED really hard to use the mirrorless for sports, but I gave up and kept using the dSLR for fast sports.
