Upgrade from Crop sensor camera

You mentioned not having EF lenses already. Your best bet is an EOS R / RP with the 24-105L RF lens and the EF/EF-S adapter.
But, if you can hold your gear lust for a moment longer, consider whether you're capturing your images in RAW and processing with professional-grade software? Is an urge for a new body and lens(s) the area that is most likely to yield improved results with your current body, or should you be considering other ideas that could yield more impact with less cost?
From another FF discussion vs crop today, here's two examples of cone flowers, about 6-years apart. The lighting is different as are the EF macro lenses used. One was captured in JPEG, the other RAW, both processed in LR6 and output as 2048-pixels on the longside as JPEGs. You can launch each attachment in a separate tab (or download) and view both full screen and zoomed to the pixel level.
Are there any differences? Where? Are the differences from the light, or the aperture choice, or the lens? Without looking at the EXIF, could you say which came from the XTi and which from the 5DIII?
Don't let the peer pressure and similar sensor size and brand competitive nonsense that predominates UHH influence your own decisions regarding your own unique needs.

Really like my 6D2, lucky me had kit with most EF lenses, but sold/gave away my EFS lenses.
Had XT then T1I and lastly 7D2. The 6D2 is easy to use in any mode, just cannot find any real issues to complain about, do lots of landscapes and some portrait...

Huh? That is opposite the OP’s request.

I am contemplating the same change. However, after looking at what the Z50 can do and at the two lens bundle cost of less than $2000 and a 30-day money-back trial. I believe I am going to pull the trigger on that setup.
It is APS-C.

Wonder what the reservations are you have heard abt the Canon RP. I think that is on special right now for abt $1K, including the EF adapter. Pair that with a refurb EF 24-105 F4 and you will cover a lot of territory.

If you are a novice, your equipment is not holding you back and spending more money will not improve your results. Keep shooting with what you have and keep saving your money. When you can identify a concrete area where your equipment is holding you back then and only then spend money to upgrade.

About a month ago, when everything was on sale, you could have gotten the 5D M IV for that amount!

I second the suggestion to Nikon since he will be getting all new/different everything with one concern. There are compelling reasons to stay with Canon - and it has to do with lenses - Canon has some exceptionally great lenses that are just a great reason to buy Canon - the 100-400 II, 16-35 III, 24-105 II, 35 1.4 II, and a few others.
On the other hand, a factory refurbished D810 is $1800, and used you can find a nice clean one with low shutter count for around $1200, which is the way I would go.

I have a 5 DS and an EOS-RP. The RP is fine for an upgrade from what you are using and has most of the same features as the R. It even has in camera focus bracketing the R doesn't have. I have used all of my EF lenses with it for good quality. I'm personally going to wait to see what the 2 higher end EOS R cameras will have on them. The only thing is the EOS R doesn't have the highest frames per second but unless you are doing birds it will be fine.

I am aware of that. But, the Z50 high ISO quality and color rendition, as well as significantly smaller size advantages, make it an interesting option.

You're goona have to shop the used/refurb'd markets for $2K.......the lenses alone can run that much and the bodies (depending?) about the same...so take tour time and shop everywhere for a good used set of items.....possibly someone unloading their collection due to health or financial difficulties....not an easy trick to pull-off.
You could just upgrade to a more advanced cropper instead and just invest in better glass and even get a better crop factor starting-off........? Hopefully somebody ,here ,may have an offer for you and solve your problems quickly.....good luck Keith.

There are several new FF cameras with kit lenses available for less than $2K. See some previous posts.
