You are mixing up the sensor size and a certain technology (SLR). While most large-sensored cameras used to be DSLRs, this is no longer the case. "Sharper" and "low light performance" are tied to the sensor and the (interchangeable) lens. Nowadays, you get mirrorless cameras up to medium format size, as for example the Hasselblad. Or, in 35mm format, the Sony a7 series offers the best sensors.
And even the quicker is not necessarily any more true. The AF systems of the top of the line Nikon and Canon cameras are still the best, but the Olympus E-M1 MkII comes close to that - and no DSLR matches its up to 60 fps at full resolution.

- sigi45 10y agoI was not referencing to DSLRs vs. Mirror Less but to the authors use of smartphone camera. I do know that DSLR and Mirror Less can/are often the same quality.
- luckydude 10y agoI think the Canon 50MP sensors kinda stomp on the Sony ones, do they not? I haven't used either so it's an actual question. I know the landscape people are over the moon with the 50MP sensors. That said, Sony has been kicking butt in sensor land, enough that the Nikon D800/D810 bodies sport Sony sensors, I believe the same ones as the a7 series.
