Tapping on either experience or prior research by the astute UHH membership, I would be grateful for suggestions on a late model full frame mirrorless digital camera. Cost vs. quality (value) should be considered. Now using Canon DSLRs and Fujifilm view camera. Not particularly set on either brand.
Your recommendation(s) will save me brand/model and vendor research time and are much appreciated.

I've been very happy withy Sony A7IV mirrorless.

I don’t use Canon, but if Canon DSLR lenses can be adapted to Canon Mirrorless cameras it would only make sense to stay with Canon.

Yep they do and would agree. Also the Canon R5 plus the 100-500mm makes a lightweight mirrorless combo (by the way I shoot Nikon so going by what my Canon shooting friends have told me).

Great suggestion and I’ve thought about it but was concerned about mount compatibility.
Thank you.

With all seriousness and not being an "a-hole" or wanting to burst the bubble, but my personal recommendation in photography is buy/replace stuffs only if the present gear could not achieve the idea.

Sure GAS is fine if one has the moolah, but IMHO, personal advancement or visiting places to shoot will always be better than new toys doing the same stuffs the old toys do.

But of course, that's just me. I do not know the full story on your side and changing gear might be the right move for you. Anyways, if that is really what you need, My suggestion is to know what you want it for, hence the choice would solve your dilemma. Borrow or rent if possible before fully jumping in.

Good luck and may you have bright lights and smiles, always.

Buy a factory refurbed Canon R5 and Canon EF>RF adapter. Use all your Canon DSLR lenses. They are even better on an R5 than they were on DSLRs.
Fujifilm view camera??

Folks with coin will tell you to get the latest whiz bang body...what I have always done.

Folks without coin will tell you...cobble something older up...just as good.

You aren't really getting good advice either way.

Some things you have to do yourself.

As a brand...that's easy...Sony. Most and best glass...most bodies...the most options in everything.
The versatility of the Sony brand is unmatched. Want to limit yourself a bit more?...buy something else.

$2199, but out of stock refurb R5 from Canon. Worth getting in line for.

Read/watch lots of reviews and comparisons. Whatever you buy will be capable of taking great pictures.

Light and just as small as my Olympus gear take a look at the FF Sony A7C2

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

All your Canon EF/EF-S lenses will work 100% on any FF Canon mirrorless RF mount camera with the Canon adapter and the control ring adapter adds RF features to your EF lenses.
Canon has an excellent array of FF cameras from the R3 to the budget R8, which by the way has high reviews. If the R5 is desired I would wait for the MII in a couple of months. If super high MP isn't needed then the R6 MII is highly regarded with world leading AF, the latest hotshoe that will use all the accessories (The R5 doesn't have this shoe but the MII does. Or if budget is really an issue the R8 has the same MP as the R6 MII and the same amazing AF as the Canon flagship cameras have
It is lacking IBIS and has one card slot to keep the price down but quality of the end shots is right up there with the best.
Finally the Canon menu and controls will be what you are familiar with and you know the menus are regarded as class leading of any system.
And remember, all your current lenses will be great and can then be swapped out later if ever desired. I have only EF and EF-S lenses for my RF mount camera and so far see NO reason to swap them out. Also this way I can still use my EOS film cameras and DSLRs along with the RF camera and not have to have duplicate lenses in each mount. Who knows, you might want to do some film for whatever reason and ALL your lenses will still be there as they will work on all your cameras seamlessly.
Hope that this helps.
PM me for additional information and discussions as I have Canon and can advise from first hand experience and not just guessing.
Thank you

I would stick with the brand you have. I have a Canon R5 and love it. It's about time for the next version to be released. That gives you 2 options, 1 get the upgraded version or 2 buy the original version at a discount. Canon makes an adaptor for the old version lenses but the off brand is cheeper ($50.00) and works fine. It has no glass in it just adapts the different connections in the camera and transfers the connections of the controls.
Good luck and have fun.
