<p>I made ths switch from Nikon to Sony when the NEX 7 came out. My reaction at the time was "this is the future of photography". It is smaller and lighter so I sold my heavy and expensive Nikon zooms and kept my excellent Nikon primes. They all work just fine (with adapter) on all theree Sony's I now have. Picture quality wise both brands are excellent and the Sony stands up to anything on the market. NIkon and many other brands use Sony sensors accounting for the comparable picture quality. Sony is light years ahead on technology but performance wise Sony needs some help especially in auto focusing. Sony does have focus peaking that makes manually focusing very easy. The Sony flashes are easier to use and I find them comparable. Technology takes over on the Sony and it does things I am not expecting on the newest full frame A7r. I too agree with Louis trying an inexpensive Sony to see how you like it. I have an NEX3n (the least expensive model made) converted to Infered and the picture quality is fantastic. I love the idea how all of my Sony's use the same lenses and batteries. I usually take only what I expect to use so I don't have John's concerns. Remember the best camera on earth is the you have with you at the time. </p>
