My life with the Canon so far.

. . .

CONs: I have not gotten the hang of the menus of this camera yet. I find myself thinking of what I need to adjust and where to find it.

1. Learning curve

Still somewhat attached to the massive zoom from the Sony. I have a 75-300mm lens which is still less than half of the reach of the Sony. My images so far seem grainy and out of focus.

2. Learning curve + nostalgia + subpar performance of 75-300mm zoom lens + perhaps lack of mastery of Canon T6 AF capabilities

Any luck with, say, a copy of EF 50mm f/1.8 STM?

I admit I had the same problem with the Sony until I got the hang of it, but didn't expect it to be this bad starting off.

3. Learning curve

Perhaps I am not cut out for DSLR and should cut my losses and try to move back to the superzoom world or am I just expecting too much too fast and need to stick with the learning curve the change of style and brand naturally brings?

4. Self-doubt + nostalgia + security blanket + lack of commitment

Your CONs are not specific enough for anyone to help you on any particular technical topics. Telling us more about certain difficulties in using the camera (beyond familiarizing with the menus), such as AF. Also, as requested already, posting a few problematic images (with full EXIF data) will be helpful in determining why they are blurry, grainy, etc.
