Missing IBIS, OSPDAF that only works with Sony lenses, unreliable weathersealing, sensor reflections and a kit lens that's not very good.  My first gen Sony is an A7R, so I'm not familiar with A7 functions.  However I suspect that they are pretty clunky.

I'd get a used 28mm quickly, if you want to discover why people still use this camera.

I agree with Janet that the increase in your shooting envelope will be educational.  Shoot RAW and use the free C1 Pro for Sony.
