>>3638371I bought one last September-ish. Thought I'd start old and small to see if I like photography. Turns out I do and so far, I have no serious desire to upgrade.

>>3638393 it doesn't look like there have been significant improvements to the sensor so raw IQ will be largely the same as the a6500/6600.
Video is a different matter with newer models supporting 4K, more color profiles and more.
>>3638942Shooting with manual lenses on this camera is pretty easy. Not for fast-paced moments where you need focus on that exact spot right now but focus peaking and zooming make it great for everyday shots. I found that autofocus on the kit lens falls apart a bit in low light so I need to manually tweak it anyway.
An old lens + focal reducer makes this camera behave just like a FF camera in terms of field of view and depth of field.
