I sold mine. But I'm missing the tiny little sharp lenses like 12/f2, 45/1.8 and 75/1.8. Still have a Panasonic G7 in the car if I have to travel light.

I will eventually try out the Canon EOS R. I just switched to Sony in Feb. Initially got the A9 and then sold it because I got a great deal on A7RIII.

With the recent EOS R mount release it's good to see canon didn't give up on EF-M mount and released a 32mm f1.4 lens.

I'm thinking you didn't consider the sony bodies?
Here's what I think about the current Sony and Canon mirrorless cameras.
A9:
+ Superb AF
+ 20fps Silent shutter with no flicker (awesome feature that will spoil you)
+ It's quite fast and with a 300mbps card you will forget about the buffer
+ Nice feature set
+ The Z battery is amazing
+ Eye AF is super cool and actually works great
+ Size & weight
- The body cannot accommodate your pinky finger. (They have an accessory for this priced at 120$
)
- Leather and overall build is not as good as Canon.
- No budget telephoto lens options
- With Sigma MC11 and metabones adapter you are limited to some AF modes and only focus points close to center are reliable.
- Not as weather resistant as Canon pro bodies (may be I just feel that way)
- Limited touch screen functionality
A7RIII
+ Sensor is awesome and lots of room to crop.
+ AF is not as great as A9 but still will do the job even for wildlife and flying stuff
+ Works well with Canon lenses using Sigma MC11 adapter
+ Share's the last 4 +'ves of A9
- Should have had the dial on the top left like the A9
- Buffer is not that great even with a 300mbps card. (Only affects when you shoot birds in flight, or air shows)
- Native fast lenses are pricey compared to canon. (Although the 85 1.8 was amazing for the price)
- All -ve's of A9 as well.
Canon EOS R
+The adapters are great especially the one with variable ND filters. (Priced right as well)
+ flip screen
+ Nice button customization options.
+ Build looks great
+ Top LCD screen
+ Flip screen
- Being so late to the party the camera features feels a lot inferior to Sony's offerings
- No IBIS
- Low FPS
- No joy stick to move AF points
- No Dual card slot (only for pros or those who like to save raw's on a separate card )
I'm hoping canon will release a A9 contender within a year.
