I have and had a lot of Sony cameras. The e-mount takes aps-c and FF.
I can mount both ways with e-mount lens.
I have metabones adaptor that takes my old Nikon lens. If you want a 1.4
Sigma and others make e-mount lens. In fact the Sony's can take all
kinds of lens brands. Try using Canon on Nikon.

And what of Canon sensors? Second to none? No, third to Sony and Nikon. I doubt Canon will ever catch up to Sony in sheer tech, and certainly never in sensor quality. Canon's sensors are barely adequate at best.

I feel the more features the better, and have paid the price for a Sony RX10M4. Two months into ownership, I could not be more pleased. Just back from two days in Victoria, B.C. which included a tour of Craigdarroch Castle. One of the furnishings was a grand piano where an Asian lady of late teens or early twenties dressed in jeans and sweatshirt had just taken the seat and enthralled all present with a superb recital of a piece of classical music of high complexity, after which she picked up her coat from the floor and wandered off with her boyfriend. After a few moments into the piece I had the presence of mind to push the video button on the Sony and now have a high-quality audio and visual recording of an event I would have hated to miss for lack of a recording device. The day was then topped off with a shot of George Vancouver on top of the Parliament Building from around 260 Meters away that has the highest IQ of any closer shots with other high zoom cameras beat by a wide margin.

Sony loads their low and mid priced cameras with more features than the competition.
I am a Sony user but ...., some of Sony's cameras have so many "features" it seems like they get in the way of just taking a picture. Personally, I could easily do without video and a few of the other features that, IMHO, just get in the way and drive up the cost.

I have the Sony RX10 III for a while now. It is just so good.
It is the imagery. And the video. We can't leave video off of cameras most
of us use it. The reviewers say the 24 to 600 zeiss lens holds sharp all the way.
I agree with this lens being amazing in a $1500 camera.
I shoot a video of running festival in DE every year. 3-4000 runners. This year they
have no help for me in assistants. Usually shoot with a Sony PXW-X70 camcorder.
I have decided to shoot all video with the RX10 III Bridge camera. Will stabilize
the camera with a bracket/handles maybe. The stabilization is great in this camera.
Audio a rode shotgun mike and Seinheiser wireless if I need it.
This first version of this camera with the big zoom has a flaw. Occasionally loses AF
in transition to longer shot or darker area. Manual focus sometimes but not easy
with so much action constantly run and gun. The newer versions I believe have been
corrected. Sony should have done a firmware upgrade for this. I hope the gentlemen
above has that fix in his Mark 4.
Good luck.

Their is a small stereo mic that you can mount on your live shoe and will improve your audio if you
want to do me video with better sound,. I is the Sony stereo microphone ECM-XYSTIM and is powered
by the shoe and the camera. It is small enough to leave on the camera all the time. Good luck.
