[Leica] Mirrorless and dust

I am thinking of dumping my DSLR and going mirrorless, mainly for the 
weight issues.  The Z cameras and lenses are lighter and that thrills 
me.  I was wondering if dust on the sensor is more of an issue than with 
a DSLR and how you handle it.  I am thinking of Nikon because that is 
what I mainly have.  I think Canon has a shutter that covers the sensor 
when the lens is off, or at least the early ones did.  But I am not a 
Canon fan.  When looking at some Nikons yesterday, I got nervous looking 
at that naked sensor and all the dust that was on the demo cameras.

The other major thing holding me back is the EVF.  Even the Q2 EVF, 
which was better than the Nikon Z7 I was looking at, has some issues for 
my eyes, but since I love the Q2 images and it is fun to use, I am 
thinking I can adjust to that.

Thanks for any imput you might have.
