$100 Beercan received. There's no original sales receipt, so I can't possibly make use of the included warranty card ;)

Also there's no hood, but I took a few shots at the sun and it didn't seem to have any flaring problems. I've been meaning to get a Beercan ever since I got my Alpha 200 in 2008(ish?), so I'm pretty happy.

If switching systems wouldn't cost a loving fortune every time, I'd probably be in for one of the next generation SLTs. Or whatever those with the autofocus on the sensor will be called. The focus peaking in the EVF is cool.

I think that you can put together a consumer level Sony system at an incredible steal. The built in image stabilization and somewhat lower demand but high quality Minolta lens can be a real steal.

If you're a couple grand into an system, then yeah, the only thing you can do it sell that and try to replicate it with Sony.

The Minolta 50mm f/1.7 is a great place to start because you should be able to get one for less than $100.
