>Thank you for the lengthy and detailed response! I know about the ability to use my Minolta lenses, and I'm actually looking forward to it so much! I just love film photography, but it's becoming far too expensive for me to develop film on a regular basis. I think you may be right about the kit lens though, which unfortunately means that I may not be able to afford the camera, as I'd have to save up a bit more for another lens (I've been spoiled by my f/1.7 lens on my Minolta, and would hate to have to go any higher, but I've seen that lenses with similar apertures can go for quite a bit.
So long as you're not afraid of manually handling focus and aperture, an MD-Nex adapter from K&F is, like, 15£ on UK Amazon.
>Totally did not know about the autofocus though! It's such a shame that it's bad. One of the reasons I hate taking video on my DSLR is because the autofocus in live view is absolutely garbage, (though that may just be my lens).
I'm probably being too hard on the autofocus. It works well enough in bright situations with single point focus. It's primarily the kit lens that has issues, imo, where it would often miss or hunt forever.
>In your experience, is the a7 an all around good camera for stills and short videos? I've got a trip to Japan coming up soon, and I really don't want to bring my DSLR or my film camera since I plan on travelling relatively lightly.
For stills? It's fantastic. Image quality is out of this world, and focusing even with manual lenses is a breeze with the internal zooming, focus peaking, and all that jazz. For video it's less so, mainly because it doesn't have any stabilisation. Granted, some lenses (including the kit lens) has this built-in, but most do not. It's up to you, if you feel this bothers you. Autofocus in video I honestly can't comment on. Just note that the focusing on the kit lens is loud.
>Anyways, I just want a full frame camera that is really a jack of most trades. I know that the a7 isn't the master of anything in particular, I just saw the deal, and seeing as I've been thinking about the alpha series for quite some time, maybe it would be a good idea.
I think you will like it. Especially if you absolutely can't go back to aps-c. You'll learn its quirks with time, and if the kit lens is as horrible as I described it, you'll sell it and make a bit back. Maybe you'll buy a better Sony lens, or maybe you'll adapt some older glass.

This adapter is working fine for Minolta SR-mount lenses.
Yessir! Using this one here. Only ~$19.
I use the Minolta 50mm MD Rokkor 1.4 with a K+F MD-NEX adapter as the lens is fully manual. The reason I chose the Minolta over the Sony lens is mainly due to /u/phillipreeve and the resources he's produced on using older, fully manual lenses with Sony bodies. You really do get bang for your buck and they allow for some great results in a small package.

this K&F adapter will probably be of higher quality. https://www.amazon.com/Concept-Adapter-Minolta-Mount-NEX-VG10/dp/B00LECYONM/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521057339&sr=1-5&keywords=md+to+e+mount
