ILC is the term that Popular Photography is using for... well...ILC's.
Digital rangefinder doesn't work even though the styling is what you'd
expect if the Leica and Nikon Rangefinders were reincarnated as
digitals. ILC just means interchangeable Lens Camera and that doesn't
distinguish the mirrorless with EVF from the DSLR from, frankly, a 43
year old Nikon F.

Quite simple: IEVF or ILEVF or even ILEV - I like that one.

Nah. The tried and true EVIL works for me. Why change now?

Fairly obvious, I would have thought! Or did I miss the smiley?

Much better: Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens (EVIL).

So much for the "mirrorless SLR."

SLR is a stupid term anyhow, I mean the whole point of an SLR is that
you are not restricted to a single lens!

At a time. Not a single lens forever. Distinguishes the type from twin-lens
reflex, that's all.


But since the term exists, why not go the whole hog and use "mirrorless
SLR" for something which is neither reflex nor single lens.

Because "mirrorles SLR" is a contradiction in terms.

But interchangeable lens is a more primary feature. So why not ILEV?

Oh, that's right. You're a low-life completely insecure DSLT-TROLL of a
toad. You have to choose another derogatory name for anything that's not
like your rube-goldberg mechanical contraption of a camera from last
century.

ILC suffices quite nice.

The "single lens" in SLR is referring to the viewfinder and camera lens
as being one in the same.
It has nothing to do with interchangeable lenses, but this is a feature
found on most SLR cameras.

SLR" for something which is neither reflex nor single lens.

Some people seem to like using this term, despite it being
self-contradictory.
I personally prefer EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable lens).

Ever hear of a dual lens reflex camera? Go educate yourself
on those.

Further, it distinguishes an SLR from a twin-lens reflex, a type that
has pretty much vanished from the market.

I like that.
