Upgrading from 70D

Hi all. Wow, long time since I've posted...

I'm currently shooting a 70D. I have pretty much all the glass I need. 16-35L 100-400L, 24-105L Sigma 150 macro. Nifty 50, EF_S 10-18 STM and a 400 5.6 L that I may sell.

I shoot a fair bit of wildlife, some landscape, and then just general "stuff" I don't do much video at all so 4K isn't a big deal.

While there's nothing wrong with my 70D, I do long for better image quality, and more importantly, faster/more accurate AF.

Do I needfull-frame? Well... I guess not, though some days I do wish my 16mm was 16mm I *think* full-frame will buy me the cleaner image quality I'd like.

Full-frame would also make my 24-105 a much more versatile travel/walk-around lens than my 16-35.

I thought about 6DII, but I don't think it's quite for me.

Really thinking hard about the R, but really indecisive. Also thinking about doing nothing, and just waiting until the next version of the R. The mount adapter for the R looks pretty small and unobtrusive, so that's not really a deciding factor. Also, Canon seems to be kicking butt with the new R lenses If I ever want a new/better lens.

The M6 II is a decent looking body, but with yet another mount, and not so great lens lineup, does not interest me that much.

I don't know that the 90D would be enough of an improvement to justify, and I might still want to go full-frame.

Ahh 1st world problems....

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd go Sony A7R IV, but that's another story.
