Talk me out of switching to sony/canon

Hi all, I shoot with an XT5 and a lot of lenses (16-80, 70-300, 150-600, 23 prime, 27 prime, 80 prime macro) and have been thinking of switching to a sony a6700 or canon r7 or maybe even full frame.

My primary shooting is street but I also like to shoot wildlife / birds. I mostly shoot when I travel but shoot local as well (im in north cal).

I originally bought the XT5 and into fuji all together for the recipies and dials. I wanted to have high quality pics and colors SOOC since I hate editting. Ive had the XT5 for about 3 years now. Lately ive noticed I really only shoot with reggies porta and I dont really switch between the recipes I have saved. I also mostly shoot in full auto so the dials arent that useful to me. I took a trip to costa rica and was shooting the wild life and realized I was getting a lot of misses due to auto focus ( and lack of user skill) being meh. My friend wanted to get into photography recently as well so I was doing some research and stumbled onto the sony a6400/a6700. The AF is insane and quality is similar if not better than my XT5. I was wondering if it would be worth selling my gear and switching to the sony system (or canon but I havent researched much on it yet). I did hear that the XT6 is rumored to have better AF but im skeptical lol.

I also really like to pixel peep and the 40MP on the XT5 is amazing, I test shot a bit inside best buy with the A6700 and the pixel peep was pretty good on it as well.

What do you guys think? I was thinking maybe keeping the XT5 and getting a nice prime and selling everything else and getting a sony. I know there are better wild life camera set ups out there but it looks like the A6700 is a good combo for the price range (looking at olympus as well)

Testing out the 1.4x TC with the 70-300 on an XT5

Had to take screen shots of my pics bc reddit won’t let me post the full res pics and idk how else to post it here😭

Bought the 1.4x TC to get some extra reach when I’m traveling (I have the 150-600 but I only use for local photography or if I have a trip that really needs it) with my 70-300 and was worried about the quality drop. Honestly I completly forgot I had the TC on, aside from the extra zoom (which I did notice!) the quality is amazing
