I'm thinking of upgrading my 10 year old Olympus DSLR but I'm not sure if I should go to a mirrorless camera or get a nicer DSLR.
I'll be doing action/sports photography. I'll invest in a good set of lenses that are appropriate for fast action.
Does anyone have experience with mirrorless cameras for fast action shots in unreliable lighting compared to traditional digital cameras?

I still use a DSLR, HOWEVER If I was buying now I would def. go mirror less and a higher end. Model.
DSLR’s are gonna be like film
cameras in the not too distant future.

I've not used mirrorless gear yet (my employer is gradually phasing out Canon DSLR gear for Sony mirrorless company-wide), but glass and sensor size are huge factors in low-light performance. All of the glass I currently use for work is f2.8L, and I have Canon 1Dx Mark II's, which have a 20-megapixel sensor. The Sony A9 has a 24-megapixel sensor. The bigger the sensor, the better the low-light performance on the camera side. If you can't afford the 2.8 glass, look at the cameras with the biggest sensor you can afford that's compatible with the lenses you can afford, and then compare their sensor size and frame rates to pick what's best for you (my cameras get like 14fps now, but I cut my teeth and first made a name for myself among Iowa photojournalists using a Canon 7D with rented 2.8 lenses). It may not be enough for every situation, but it'll be good enough 80%+ of the time.I'm thinking of upgrading my 10 year old Olympus DSLR but I'm not sure if I should go to a mirrorless camera or get a nicer DSLR.

Totally agree on part one, maybe not as much on part two with a a gazillion legacy Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras out there from entry to pro level. What you will, and are seeing, is that production and the marketing shifting to the mirrorless lens, "Boxster, you need a new Nikon Z!" If I was buying new and building a kit I'd differently go mirrorless but a lot of peeps have quite a bit invested in fairly new cameras and quality lens and aren't going to be dumping them in a drawer with our old film stuff.
I was going through old photos on my phone and had forgotten about this one I took of the St Louis Arch when I was down at Anheuser Busch
Got a postcard today from Iowa State Fair Photography contest in today's mail.

I love the fox, but I think it was the top one! The color depth is amazing!!
Two of four in and an award! Here are my four entries, I also don’t know for sure. 
Was told about this den site in North Iowa, was right next to an occupied acerage, owner gave permission and said that they don't seem to mind people.
(It's the age of the kits) once they get older, they get much more fearful of humans.
We've had dens on our property several times over the last 20 years. We only spotted the tiny kits from one litter that was close to the garage. Three little yellow balls of fluff...soooo cute, and soooo clumsy!
Caught a decent pic of Arnolds Park last weekend with my iPhone.
One from this summer. I have a decent zoom, but I acknowledge in hindsight that I was too close.
Thanks! These are just my cell phone pics. I have a million more on my camera. There is so much to see there.
