After playing around with both my Sony alpha 6000 and 3000 cameras, I have come to prefer their image quality over my Canon Rebel and Micro 4/3 cameras. Their main drawback is that their is a relative shortage of good, reasonably priced lenses, particularly long zoom for that system. On the other hand, if I buy the Sony adapter for just over $300.00, I can use A mount lenses from Sony, older Konica/Minolta lenses, as well as numerous 3rd party lenses from Tamron and Sigma. Anyone have experience with this approach?

Are you smarter than most 50+ year olds?
