Yeah, it's such a good deal, and I don't know if I can pass it up. Camera, two lenses, all for 878 canadian. What has me so leary of it though is looking to the future and the lenses I'm gonna end up buying. Don't get me wrong, Sony makes some very good quality glass, and the third party stuff is looking pretty damn good too. But damn it's expensive. Eventually, I'd love to get the 70-200mm and the Sony version is almost a thousand dollars more than the Canon. Even the slower f4 lens is about two hundred less for Canon.
I just don't know. My wife made an interesting point. Perhaps I just buy some really nice glass for the camera I have and then later on I upgrade the body instead of trying to get it all at once. At some point I'll be upgrading to full frame and by that time I'd love to have some really good lenses to go with it. I think I just need to go into the camera store, give the Sony a test drive and see the image quality. Then maybe take a couple pictures on my old camera with some new lenses and check that image quality. See which one appeals to me more. But damn, I just love the reviews that the Sony A6000 is getting. And even the full frame A7RIII is getting some spectacular reviews, even compared to the Canon 5D Mark IV.
