I'm a Fuji apsc user considering of adding a full frame mirrorless to my collection. My budget has come down to 2 options, Sony a7iii or the Canon Eos R.

i looked at the R but decided that apart from MP the R6 was a big step up in every department like IBIS the frame rates and most importantly the AF  ho also vidio biy i dont do video yet and 20 MP was enough for me as i did not think i was lacking in MP with my 12MP 5D so the R6 looked better value to me as i think if i went for the R i would be looking to upgrade in a year or 2 . now i have gotten used to the AF on the R6 i don't think i could go back to a less capable AF for general purpose photograph ..if i was going for a less capable body i would look at the RP  and not the R as its AF  and frame rates etc are not that far behind the R but i see them for 750GBP on the bay in the UK

My priority is the nice skin tones, that's why I don't mind Canon lower DR sensor compared to Sony cameras. But I really like the Sigma 85 f1.4 DG DN lens available for the E mount.
And I will try to avoid adapting dslr lens on the R, which just adds bulk and weight. As for Sony, it's yellowish skintones was a nightmare to me before. I'll try my best not to return to Sony.

i did try sony APS-c for a travel cam and it ended up being my last sony because of the green/yellow thing i replaced it with a SL1/100D

My problem will be solved only if canon allow sigma to build lens for the R mount, then i will jump on the RF system the first thing if that happens. As for now, I guess I will just stick to fuji.

This post will have many although spell checked, spelling and grammatical errs ..its The best its going get so no need to tell me it is bad I know it is .....................................................................................................
the EOS M is not dead and wont be for a long time ....as long as you don't want a flagship camera with a VF...if that's the case it died sometime ago
My 5D IS a MK1 classic

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer
