I pulled the trigger on a full frame after a year of aps-c. A Sony A7. Only shot about two rolls so far. The extra detail is nice but it feels equal to the aps-c in terms of capturing light and color. I don’t like the weight and size of the thing despite it being mirrorless.

The only reason I'd get a full frame is if I needed to shoot by candlelight, or have eyelash thin depth of field. One loses an f-stop worth of these with APS-C, and two with μ43.

When I double up at events (two bodies: 6D, 70D) I always wince at little when I'm having to push the APS-C body up beyond ISO3200. It just can't really hack it up there the way the FF body can - I know I'll have much less latitude with the RAW in post without getting into the realm of plasticky noise reduction. I'm sure the 70D isn't state of the art wrt high-ISO for crop sensors in 2019 (Canon generally isn't), mind, and it's still pretty good.

Another shoot, another discovery that my F stop was on 16 the entire time. F

After shooting for three years with APS C I finally bought a full frame, a Sony a7 ii. Taking it out today to break it in a bit

There I was upthread speculating about the EOS R four years ago. Now I've got one.
I had to sell a lot of stuff to fund it (and it's a used body, but in perfect nick). The drawer full of gear I acquired 7-8 years ago when I thought I really might make a go of photography as a side-line was getting me down; also felt a twinge in the shoulder every time I thought about the big, heavy zooms. So, after a false-start (shipping everything to one place only for half the stuff to fail their inspection), I dragged a bag of stuff into town and traded up (or sideways).
So now it's just the EOS R, plus a couple of super-lightweight lenses (16/2.8, 50/1.8), and my old EF-mount macro and portrait primes. It's been pretty great so far. Just need to get out and do more things.
Here's a little sequence showing off the face-/eye-tracking (local arts festival, pop-punk kids)...
