Keep DSLR or go back to superzoom/bridge camera?

I am being friendly and supportive when writing this reply.

Every path requires commitment and perseverance for progress to be made on the path. Familiarizing, learning, improving and becoming proficient take time and effort, especially during the initial phase.

You have recently switched from the "Sony bridge camera" path to the "Canon DSLR" path. What makes it more difficult is that while you are learning new things on the Canon path, you have to undo the (comfortable) habits acquired on the Sony path.

If you have identified for yourself the unique advantages of shooting a Canon DSLR that you definitely want to master and utilize in your photography in the coming months and years, you will have the motivation to "stick with it" in the face of short-term errors and difficulties. That is the commitment factor.

Although the Rebel models are "entry level", they are not trivial to use. One needs practice and some technical understanding of both camera/lens operations and photographic principles. To many friends and family members who want to use a "real camera" (other than their smartphones), I have kindly suggested P&S cameras. Some of them insisted on using a DSLR and then went through frustrations like "How come his ice cream is sharp but his face is blurry? I definitely heard the focus beep!"

Unless your goals on the "Canon DSLR" path are clear, there will be little fun and joy in learning, trying and gaining experience.

Deep down, you may value convenience above all. If so, your previous Sony superzoom camera may be suitable for you. I don't know for sure. You must decide for yourself.

Best wishes.
