But honestly, what are you asking? Canon has delivered mirrorless technology that leverages their change to EOS technology in October 1987, an all-electronic solution that continues to deliver benefits to Canon owners in October 2023. Contrast that to Nikon, a company that dithered on electronics and the basics of Auto Focus, where long-time owners find their long-time lenses are not fully-upward compatible with mirrorless cameras.
But honestly, what are you asking? Mirrorless technology is superior, especially the newest mirrorless lens designs, from every one of all the various market competitors. Some are clearly better at automated tracking of moving subjects, but this is a niche need for certain working pros. The rest of us couldn't / wouldn't know the difference.
But honestly, what are you asking? Did any of your current digital cameras turn to dust recently, or similarly stop delivering already superior images? Did your money start burning a hole in your wallet?
The single biggest difference: you mount a lens and turn right (clockwise) when working with Canon, clearly the right way to mount a lens. Everything else is just a difference mix of technology options. Do you want IBIS? How many megapixels? Full-frame vs cropped? What card format? One or two cards? etc, etc.

Way back when I studied with Ansel Adams he said "A camera is a box with a hole in it" - they both take very good pictures - the most important factor being the finger pushing the button (or, hopefully, the remote release)
