Well, AFAIAC, I will stick with Canon, because I like the image files the Canon bodies generate.
As to going with APS-C vs FF lenses: I made that decision many years ago, FF it is for me, and EOS R series cameras just work fine for me, even with old (EF) lenses.
The thing is, IMO APS-C cameras do not offer anything extra over FF other than a bit of extra reach, other than that they are generally the same size, weight, etc., and with higher pixel densities they do not necessarily have the same IQ as the FF siblings.
This is why for a small camera when traveling, I went with MFT. About the same quality, but generally good lenses, and having switched from Panasonic to Olympus, I am very happy, as the image files it creates are in a way very similar to the Canon ones.
In addition, I own a couple of the 'cheap' Canon RF lenses, the RF 35 F/1.8 and the RF 24-240, and I am quite happy with those for their intended uses. Especially the 24-240 is a lot better in real life than the tests would make one think. If I need a light FF setup with a lot of reach, it is what I grab for.
Just my 2c.
Kind regards, Wim
