Same thing here. I went with Sony because of how expansive the E-mount lineup was, including 3rd parties (even the lesser known ones like Samyang and Viltrox).

At the time, Canon's first party lineup was pretty lackluster if you weren't looking for the L-series professional lenses. It's gotten better since then, but in terms of value it's very hard to compete with Sony since third parties are much cheaper, and used availability is much better due to the age of the system.

I was wilIing to give z-mount a shot after spending 10 years shooting a D40 and D5300. I didn't really like the Z6II and I'm glad I hopped to e-mount. I've picked up some truly great third party glass.
