After six years of owning both Canon 6D, finally decided that I want to go small on camera system. Two of my lenses 24-105 f4 and Tamron 100-400 f4.5-6.3 seemed huge and heavy. Awareness dawned that full frame is over kill as smaller sensor cameras give equally good pics for my level. Final decision was made easy looking at specs of Leica 12-60 f2.8-4, 50-200 f2.8-4 and 100-400mm f4-6.3 micro 43 lenses.

Finally today got a deal for all my Canon gear and bought Lumix GH5 with kit lens Leica 12-60 f2.8-4. Now looking for one of of longer zooms and a flash. Also looking forward to learning art of video making.
Good bye Canon and full frame camera systems.
Regards

No argument, modern smaller sensors , smaller bodies, and smaller lenses can be wonderful.

While I will not give up my full sized bodies, I also own a Canon M50 mirrorless. It can be very liberating to walk around with such a small, light weight body. On some trips it's the only camera I bring. The body, along with 22mm f/2, 11-22mm, 15-45mm and 55-200mm lenses (along with accessories) fits into a rather small shoulder bag. My full sized kit (5D3, 7D2, 16-35L f/4, 24-105L f/4, 100-400L II fits into a backpack that's quite heavy to lug around.

Your kit nearly resembles mine. I had a 7D2, 5D4 and M50 and alot of the EF/EFS lenses. Once I have used the M50 for much of what I used the 7D2 for, I sold the 7D2.

My M lenses are:
15-45
55-200 (but will sell this as the EFS 55-250 is superior in IQ)
50 f1.2
12 f2
EF/EFM adapter
Viltrox Booster

I have considered getting rid of my 7D2, as well, but I need to get more comfortable using the M50 with my 100-400L II and 70-200 f/4 IS shooting wildlife before I do that. As for the EF-M 55-200 vs. EF-S 55-250, while the latter may be a little superior in IQ, I still like the compactness of the EF-M version. The EF-S lens + adapter wouldn't fit in the small shoulder bag in which I carry the M50 kit.
