According to some, that is the case. Also, rumours that Olympus is going to release a mirrorless with a 5 megapixel EVF display. Hammer, hammer, hammer.

I have yet to see a decent mirrorless system to match a clean, polished mirror for clarity and colour. Artificially reproduced viewfinder imagery does not quite cut the mustard at the moment. Until that day arrives, DSLRs will continue.

Reflected by a mirror but rendered by a piece of frosted plastic, like those old back-projected TVs. A real direct optical viewfinder isn't reflected off of, or onto anything.

Any sensor tech that can improve on that currently found in DSLRs can also be applied to DSLRs, so no sensor will ever be a "nail in the DSLR coffin".

But a display is not a sensor and it's rather difficult to put an EVF on a DSLR unless you give it a second eyepiece.

Most DSLR's have a live view mode already, there are even attachments for those displays to turn them into an EVF equivalent on the market, (funnel of black plastic with a suitable lens/eyepiece) and have been for years.

You might want to rephrase that to make sense, realising that a camera sensor is not the same as an EVF for a start.
EVF's are certainly improving though, whereas many DSLR mirrors are going backwards in some cases to allow for full time focussing in movie/live mode. (semi silvered mirrors)

I was referring to the subject line, actually: "Canon's new sensor, another nail in the DSLR coffin?"
