Yerr!

Ordered my first DSLR camera today! Thanks to Lafy and Cannon for all the advice. I am getting a Sony A-6000 Mirrorless. I take pictures for the school that I work at for student ID's and Graduation already, and I am an avid photography buff. I just upped my game on this one. I really love the features and that viewfinder is going to be awesome!

I prefer a Cannon, but paid a lot more for mine.

The canons are nice too, but the mirrorless sonys are more compact and I think you get a little more camera for your money.

For 2 grand I don't know if I'd rather the Canon 6D or the Sony A7, but for $700 I think the A6000 is nicer than the T5i, though I'm sure some people would go the other way.
