Upgrade from EOS 80D to Mirrorless

I'm an amateur/hobbyist photographer and I'm interested in upgrading from my EOS 80D to a Canon mirrorless.

I use the camera mostly for landscape photography and travel, with some occasional portraits.

I don't shoot action sports very often, but I am interested in wildlife photography and the animal eye tracking feature is interesting.

I have a collection of EF L glass lenses and a couple of EFS lenses (EFS 10-22 for wide angle with the APS-C sensor).

I'm thinking now might be the right time to change to a full frame sensor and get the EF adapter so I can use my existing lenses and upgrade them to RF lenses over time.

I'm looking for a camera that will take noticeably better pictures than my 80D.

Which bodies should I be considering?

If you do get an adapter. I would get the control ring adapter. The control ring can be set to change different settings such as ISO or aperture. You can also have Canon de-click it if you don't want to hear it click while turning it.

Far from an expert but, based on my own experience, if the R7 is the newest and within your budget,  I would go that direction. Four years ago, an editor/mentor recommended a T6 to get me started but a camera shop said it was being replaced with the T7 which I bought. When you get the camera, looking forward to seeing some photos in the Share Your Photos section.
