Upvote! I've personally found Canon to still have the best low to mid-range APS-C mirrorless cameras in terms of the overall ease of use and viewfinder/rear display quality. But Sony wins out when it comes to affordable but feature-packed full-frame mirrorless bodies with a wide range of affordable lenses (the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 is great value for a fast telephoto).

Yes, if I were going to spend a considerable amount more, I certainly would have gone with the Sony

Honestly, things like DxO PhotoLab 6 with its incredible noise processing also reduce the need for faster lenses and larger sensors.

I personally owned a Canon EOS M50 along with some secondhand lenses for a good bit before selling the whole kit for near cost (thanks to the deals I got on the lenses) when upgrading to the Sony a7 III. Loved both setups.
