>>2995414>Need an adapter for Canon glass -Sony lenses too expensive and not as easy to sellNot really true. It is more of a lack of intro-level lenses. If you wanna shoot intro level junk, I'd stay away from Sony though.
>No swivel screen, which I found useful on my friends t5i (not a deal breaker)Has tilt screen, plus a pretty awesome remote control app for mobile. Especially nice if you have android, it is literally touch and shoot thanks to nfc.
>wow factor, truth be told, clients love when you show up with a big huge cameraYea, I get this. But an a7 is a pretty serious looking camera. Slap a battery pack and big lens on it and people will be wowed.
>No magic lanternNot needed. Most of these features are default even on intro level cameras. Open Playmemories can add the rest.
>Any advice on what to do?Buy an a7ii. Cheap for what it is, considerably more compact than an DSLR, and still has that wow factor. I run around with an a7ii w/ SEL35F28Z for my everyday carry and have been very happy with the results.
