Update. Still have the original 2 Alpha's mentioned above, (A6400 and A7Sii), and bought a couple more.
   Gave the A6400 to our 14 year old son, he is LOVING it! Got him a 16-50 kit lens and also an adapter so he can use my old Nikon Nikor APSc 70-300 lens from our old Nikon D70s, he is having SO much fun!
   Found another A6400 on FB MrktPlce local to us with a 18-135 lens and DJI Ronin S Gimbal, bought that and gave the Gimbal to our son, the camera and lens went to our youngest daughter, she is having SOO much fun, taking it everywhere with her, major win.
I went a little crazy wanting a little more modern body than the A7Sii, mentally had settled on the A7iv, A7Cii, or A7Siii as possible options. After much back and forth and not really able to settle on just one, I bought a brand new A7Rv. WOWZERS! Almost a month now with it, this thing is a beast! AMAZING! All of its features and options, a bit overwhelming, working on just trying to keep it simple and focus on the basics for now, (settings and workflows in use etc), then little by little will work my way into the deeper aspects of what this body brings to the table. I'm still intrigued with the A7Cii for its simpler more cozy form factor but honestly, this A7Rv is AMAZING on so many levels.
   Next is finding a good running yet cheap 2nd hand A6100 or A6400 for my son in law.
   Next for me.... lenses! Working the FE 28-70, the Sony 10-20 APSc and 18-105 APSc lenses for now. Wanting a decent 50mm or 85mm FE for portrait work and an FE Tele for some long range work, in the 400-500mm range.
