It's the Sony A7III body with the new 24mm 1.4 GM lens. I upgraded its firmware to get the auto-focus features that debuted on the A9.

The lens is wide like a smartphone so the subject always fits in the frame. And it has enough resolution to crop later. But it's not so wide that it warps the image. Straight lines look straight. I take 15-20 pics/day and charge it once a month. It's light and small so I can shoot one-handed (very useful with pets and children).

One day I'll buy a telephoto lens with better reach. But the 24m is such a great "around-the-home" package. It will be my default for the foreseeable future.

I have the same camera but with the 55mm lens. I'm really happy with it. I still have an old Canon Rebel that I bring to places I'm not comfortable bringing the Sony to (mainly the beach), and it's excruciating to go back to a DSLR, even though it still takes nice photos.

For anyone with a Canon lens collection, the Sigma MC-11 adapter works great with (many)Canon* and Sigma lenses on the A7III.

*EF lenses, can't comment on Canon EF-S personally.

Try before you buy, if you can. The A7III's auto focus is slower on adapted lenses than on the EF lenses. It's still impressive, but the Alpha + EF combination is compelling.

how does the bokeh look for a cropped portrait? can you get a reasonably shallow depth of field with such a wide lens?

It looks better than you think it will. Nothing like the tack sharp backgrounds in a smartphone portrait. But not as melty as a longer lens. Ken Rockwell's [0] sample pictures are representative. His site doesn't allow hot links though. So to see a cropped portrait scroll to the fourth sample.
