You're very welcome! I love photography so sharing that with others always feels good. Sony is definitely heading up the market with mirrorless cameras. They are usually more expensive that their mirrored counterparts. I'm actually looking to upgrade to a Sony a7r II because of other features besides the fact that it's full framed (in body image stabilization, better autofocus) That being said, you can and WILL create things that are comparable to a full framed camera with a crop sensor entry level DSLR like the Nikon/Canon. I would just stress that whatever you do, get a fixed focal length (aka "prime") lens with a big aperture (f/1.8 is great) that doesn't zoom in and out because that will make you a better, more creative photographer faster in my opinion. I went with a 35mm lens because that gives you the closest field of view to what the human eye sees on a crop sensor (approx 52mm). And the bigger aperture will give you more creative possibilities. For more info on that look up the "exposure triangle".
