I’d definitely recommend the R5, it’s awesome. I have found it actually works great with the Sigma lens so maybe start with that. The Canon lens is nice but frankly I don’t see the improvement over the Sigma to be worth the huge price difference.

I can second this recommendation. The Sigma worked very nicely with the R5, and I'd have stayed with this combo if it weren't for my desire to lose more of my gear weight. At my age, every ounce now counts. If I were younger, I'd have stayed with the Sigma. One area of significant enough a difference, though, is that the 100-500 AF speed is faster, not that the Sigma was so slow by comparison that I couldn't get what I wanted out of it.
