I would have to say one for video and one for photography.

Depends on the gear you currently have. Depends on what you are taking photographs of. Depends on what you are doing video of. Depends on whether you are a professional, or just doing this for fun. Depends on what your specific needs are. Depends on your budget for additional lenses and other equipment.
 
I guess it all depends on what you call "high end" but my Nikon D810 has been great for me since I bought it. Not sure about video since I don't need the video part of the camera though
 
First you have to decide if you want a Full Frame or a crop sensor.
The d500 is a crop sensor. Unless you meant the D5.
The others are FF.

I dont see the correlation between these three models. Why did you end up with these?
 
I would think that the idea is to define what it is about your camera that is unsatisfactory and then find one that resolves that. Posting a wish list doesn't do that.
 
I do a mix of both pro and just cause i love cameras and taking photo and video
I like shooting landscapes wildlife
I shoot for events also sometimes video some time photo what ever a client wants



I am asking for help not for you all too roast me at once

Well be fair, you haven't exactly given us a lot to work with so far..

For shooting wildlife something with high frames per second on an APS-C sensor will probably give you your best overall results. However a Nikon D500 won't be compatible with your current selection of Canon lenses and would not do as well at shooting events particularly indoors or in poor lighting as a full frame.

If you are shooting professionally and shooting events a full frame would probably be a better choice, especially if your shooting pro and you only have one camera body at the moment. In that case your best bet would be to get another Canon full frame assuming you already have a halfway decent lens collection for the Canon you already own, so if you are out shooting and something might happen to one body you have a spare. People who pay you to shoot don't want to hear about equipment failures, they expect results.

For shooting video it sort of depends on how "high end" you want your video to be, a Sony would probably give you the edge in the video department but it would most certainly not be the best choice for shooting wildlife. It would also not be a good choice if your shooting professionally unless your plan would be to get rid of your canon gear and get a second Sony body as well.

As it is you'd probably be best off narrowing down your priorities a bit and deciding whats most important to you first.

Assuming someone buys my lens if he still decides buying them ...
I have not felt a sony in hands at all
I do end up shooting video more then often
What other options can i look at
