As the OP, I don't appreciate the fact that a few people have hijacked this thread so they can ride their own hobby horse. Look, if I was just starting out and had no investment in lenses, etc. with any camera brand, I'd seriously consider Sony at this point rather than Canon.
If I were a lot wealthier than I presently am, I'd consider switching to Sony regardless of my legacy investment in Canon.
But my original premise was to learn if any of my original investment in Canon lenses, etc. would be useful if applied to a Canon 5DSr. I posed that question simply because I am NOT just starting out, nor am I able to afford the financial commitment necessary to switch to Sony.
Does Canon have shortcomings? Heck, yes, and I'm pretty sure I could find some in a Sony A7r II if I spent some time working with one as well.
