I'll be 82 in a month. It is not that I cannot handle the weight, but I did not yet replace my 5D MIII, 7D MII & lenses. I have exclusively used the RX10 IV since purchasing in July. It is extremely more convenient than lugging 40 lbs of equipment for my photography needs. Still learning the Sony and have considered selling the Canon equipment, but I'll wait until I am sure it is the right move for me.

My RX10 m4 is punching well above its weight, so to speak. I keep trying to do better with my a6500 using either the extremely good FE 70-200 F4.0 G OSS or my Minolta 500/8 mirror lens. Sometimes I get really good results with them but at least 80% of the time, the RX10, small sensor notwithstanding, is the winner. In addition to it's performance, mine is better much of the time because the ergonomics of the RX10 m4 are easily the best I've experienced and add to that the high level of programmability (after coping with Sony Menus) and it's a clear winner.
I have used an a7R2 and even my a6500 with longer lenses such as Tamron's 150-600 and Sony's 100-400 GM but while they are perhaps optically better and in the case of the full frame, better sensor, the weight and size are more than I choose to cope with.
YMMV
