Very good camera for beginners

I started my journey into photography with it and so far, the camera has been carrying me for three years.
As I've never had taken any photos other than with a smartphone before I focused on ease of use and comprehensive menu structure as well as compact size and upgradeability with other lenses on purchase. Slowly I have thaught myself the basic "how-to's" and now I can see some shortcomings of it - foremost the lack of a viewfinder or a hotshoe to attach one. The grip could also be a tad more pronounced. But yet again - even now, as I am considering uptrading to a Sony Alpha 7 Mk 2 - I am still able to shoot very good pictures with it and I'm sure that I still haven't reached its full potential.

Spent hours with Sony online, and at BestBuy.
Just a complete waste of my time. Not worth the effort.
This is probably my last Sony product ever.

No longer connects to my phone. Everytime I want to transfer a picture I have to manually do it.

took several settings runs to get it SLIGHTLY less grainy in movie mode but this was sold to me as the "perfect streaming DSLR" and that was a total lie
