I went to Sony because of the sensor size and resolution in a mirror-less body, many of the feature others here talk about as must haves, deal breakers or needs have never meant much to me. I am pretty simple in my needs in the controls of a camera, and do use much in the way custom settings. So for me the results are what I like about Sony. My disappointments with Sony in the beginning was in the lack of lens options, like the other camera companies I had come from. I went with some Zeiss Batis lenses which were fine I guess back then. Since that time I have been very glad to see they have more than made up for that lack of lenses. Yes there are still some lenses I wish they would make like a 300mm F2,8, a 120mm F1.8 Macro, a pancake like a 28 or 35 f2. My biggest issue with Sony was the lack of a new version of the RX1RII, my first full frame Sony camera that made me want to be in the Sony camera world. I realize that they were a lot of money on paper for what they did but I find the camera a joy to shoot with. A few years ago I thought they will never make an updated version because of the cost but then Leica has now done 3 version of theirs. Those Leica Qs are in demand, so there might still be market fora new Sony one. Instead I will probably have to buy a A7CR and a pancake lens and spend more money than a new RX1RIII would sell for.
