I, too am a Canon convert --- beware of the 7 phases of Canon - to - Sony conversion.
STAGE 1: GLEE. In this phase you are completely over the moon, relieved to be without the burden of that vanilla DSLR and in possession of something very exciting
STAGE 2: EXPLORATION. In this phase, you try everything. Every menu option. You shoot constantly. You're learning. It's exciting. You are in awe of the wild 36MP files and how flexible they are.
STAGE 3. SHOCK & DENIAL. In this phase, you realize that your new camera is not, in fact, perfect and that your photos have not improved. You learn about the Sony flash system and come up with excuses for why the Sony flash system sucks worse than any system ever created. You try in vain to get sharp corners with RF glass. You blame the adapter. You realize the inadequacies of the Sony lens ecosystem. You are shocked by these things, but you will not admit that they are important
STAGE 4. ANGER & BARGAINING. In this phase, you're mad at Sony for luring you into this wild, wild web. You're mad a Canon for not making more compelling and exciting gear. You start to bargain... "Maybe I'll get the Canon EF adapter and use some of those great Canon lenses"
STAGE 5. REGRET. You start to check eBay auctions for "Used Canon 7D" and find yourself browsing Canonrumors.com. You want a great native zoom, but worry the 24-70mm is too flawed. You decide never to use auto-ISO again. You realize you'll never shoot birds in flight with any confidence. You kind of regret going Sony.
STAGE 6: UPTURN & GAS. You start to come out of regret and depression, slowly. Maybe you start to feel connected with the body. Maybe those beautiful RAW files start to grow on you. The characteristic Sony Colors start to make sense. But you need a JOLT... you start to search frantically for your next purchase. A flash? (One of those mortally flawed Sony units?) A new lens? A native lens? Sigma maybe? Or maybe a bargain basement A77 and LA-E4 adapter so you can go DSLR when you need to?
STAGE 7: ACCEPTANCE AND HOPE. In this stage, you are now a Sony person. You know this means constant head-scratching, dealing with bizarre pricing and more camera body releases than lens releases. You accept that you'll never see a meaningful firmware release. But you're all-in. You love your A7 system. You're an e-mount guy. You've got your eye on a Summilux 50mm. The world is your oyster, and you're capturing it 36 megapixels at a time...
