Am considering “graduating” from my ancient 30D to a full frame mirrorless. I have about $2,500 to spend. The dilemma is body vs. lens. Should I invest in the 24-105 L lens and use the RP body, or purchase the R body and go with the less expensive Canon 24-105 lens? Lots of trade offs to consider, I realize. I do travel shooting, so weight is somewhat a factor, as is not having to carry a bagfull of lenses. I have 3 lenses for my DSLR-C body I can use in a pinch, recognizing I won’t get full sensor coverage for the full frame body.

I'd go for a used EOS R ($1100-1300) and pick some prime lenses (RF 35/1.8, RF 85/2, RF 50/1.8).... No point using APSC lenses with full frame
