Moving on from an old canon T3, what to? I’ve been using an old canon T3 for a couple months now, and while i do like how the images look (in day photography), I’ve been itching to move on to another camera. Should I stick with it or is the grass really greener with something like a Sony a6400? Photos I’ve taken with the canon attached. Thanks! submitted by /u/dunnonauker
