recommendation on upgrading my Rebel T7 to R6 or EOS 5DMarkIV

[Nithun12]

I currently have Rebel T7 with EF-S 18-55mm and EF 75-300mm Lenses and planning on upgrading to some bigger camera. I once used EOS 5DMark IV, loved it. At first i was in a impression of getting it but after doing some research i came to know about R6. Now i am in a confusion which one i need to get.

My current usage is mostly for personal use, Landscapes etc. (Not professional) 

I know R6 is latest product with mirrorless, but also 5D is very good. totally confused on what to get. Please advice.

If i choose R6, can i use my existing EF/EFs lens with an adaptor? wil there be any difference? are these lens enough for now or need to get any new lens?

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Considering my budget and requirement. I was thinking on going for R6 with 35mm f1.8 IS Macro (use for daily half and full length portraits, landscapes ) 

For second lens, i was thinking on getting  RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM. (RF24–105mm F4 L IS USM is kind of expensive for now. even the refurbished one is expensive. will get it in the future.)

I couldn't see the OP's max budget on my phone for some reason the forum wasn't loading up correctly. But good catch on it Trevor. I would've offered more budget friendly lenses or adapted EF lenses which work fine.

Change of plans on my lens. Along with R6 i opted for RF24-105mm F4 L IS USM. I felt rather than opting for my initial choice, this would be better considering reviews (although its expensive). 

Per most of the YouTube videos and reviews many suggested that this is a great lens which is used in most cases. I saw many saying that 90% of their content is being done using this lens. Thus, got this one for now to meet my current requirements. Was it a good decision?

I think you'll enjoy that lens.  It has a constant aperture (which is my personal requirement for any zoom lens; really don't like variable aperature at all).

f/4 is a good general aperture for video work.  Not the best for dimly lit areas, but if you have ample lighting, should do quite well.

I heard this is also good for photos like landscapes and portraits.

what is good flashlight to choose for R6?

Do you have a budget for a speedlite if so how much. I have only used Canon's speedlites.

Highly recommend off-camera flash.

For more modern flashes, look to the new Speedlite EL-5 along with a transmitter.   It has the same excellent guide number of 197' (60 m) as the 600 series Speedlites as well as the much more expensive EL-1.

Look at something you can expand over time as well (and work that into your budget).

I originally had single 400-series Speedlite for my Rebel T4i.  And opted to use a cable to start with off-camera flash.  When I moved to full frame though, I got the two flash and transmitter kit (two 600 EX RT and ST-E3-RT).  And then over the years, added more 600 units.
