I bought a Sony A7r used. I figured it was a cheeper way to "test the water). I also bought a Ziess lens for it (which is a phenomenal combination, and not cheep!) but often use it with a Metabones adapter and my Canon glass. The A7r is the last generation but the image quality is amazing. The focusing is slow but I use it mostly for landscape currently so no issue. I have not seen the weight loss issues since I still lug around the heavy Canon glass. I haven't seen much about the new generation for wildlife or sports but it may be up to (or getting very close to) the task. As mentioned the image quality on all levels (including the increase MP over my 6D and 7D mark II) is quite welcome.
The major con is battery life. it pails compared to the Canon, and that is with the LCD off most of the time. I also shoot Aurora and also have had some issues with using it in very cold temps (single digits or sub zero) that I do not have with the Canon gear.
