Thanks for the suggestion! I don't have much money right now, but really miss SLR-like photography. I've long eyed the Alphas with envy, and now that I no longer have any Canon lenses anyway, maybe my next one will be a Sony instead once I can afford one.

Can I ask how your experience with the electronic viewfinder has been? Is it as fast and clear as a traditional dSLR's optical viewfinder?

I find it indistinguishable and in some ways better. At least 60fps maybe more.

You can tell that it is a screen because of the HUD etc but it doesn't "feel" like one in practice.

I hear that the newer ones are better still.

If you go to a camera shop they should let you try it, that's how I went for mine.

Great, good to hear. I'll look forward to one if I ever make enough money again :) Thank you.

I jumped from a 216 Canon 80D to a Sony A7RV.

It was sort of an insane jump but I'm having an amazing experience.

I told the wife I'd take very nice photos of a kid to try to justify the cost.

The glass alone can be $750- 1-3k. I'm borrowing glass rn.
