a crop sensor miorrorless A6300 for $1000 + a $400 adapter for canon glass
i'd rather get a canon 6d tbh
it probably really only makes sense to cop the metabones type adapters if you already have canon glass...or maybe if you are unhappy with the native sony lens selection; but i really think the appeal of the sony cameras is how much technology & features they pack into these small cameras. they won't appeal to everyone, and they don't have the advantage of hitting that retro feel of the fujis & panasonics, but they do seem to hit on a lot things that for the broad spectrum of users from novice to pro would be happy with, in a single camera. that they are small in form factor is just the gateway in...especially given that you'd have to pay much more to get the similar functionality with either canon or nikon
i think because sony isn't really a camera company their cameras aren't taken as seriously (they also don't seem to be as good as the others at the customer service/pro support part either), this is changing, but it seems these adapters let people dip their toe in, without having to jump into the whole system...
