Which to buy...

[GearJunkie]

I'm looking at adding another camera to my equipment and looking for some opinions.
I currently have:
1) Sony A7RV (dedicated cinema rigged with full Kondor Blue cage)
2) Sony a6500 (6500NY Lockcircle cage, setup for photography)
3) Sony a6000 (dedicated cinema rigged with Smallrig gear)
4) a bunch of Sony NEXs for just fun carry cameras with vintage/weird lenses
5) Nikon ZF (photography only)
6) Nikon DF (photography only)
7) Fujifilm X-T5 (photography only Smallrig retro cage)
8) Fujifilm X-A1 (photography only)
9) Olympus Pen E-PL9 (photography only)
10) Pentax Q10 (photography only)

(Yes, I do know I have an excessive number of cameras...I also have an insane number of vintage and unique old lenses which I use across many of them).

So here's what I'm trying to decide...
I want to have a higher MP full frame photography setup. That means either replacing my A7RV with a different cinema rig, or picking up an alternate equivalent photography camera.

Option A:
I switch the A7RV to be a photography setup then I'm thinking of getting a Z Cam E2-F6 (or maybe a Blackmagic Pyxis 6k PL) and fully rigging it out to be my core cinema rig with a DJI Lidar setup.

Option B:
I keep the A7RV as the core cinema rig, then I'm thinking of getting a Sony A7CR as the higher end photography setup.

Benefits of Option A I feel are that the Z Cam is truly meant to be a cinema rig and has a better configuration for it. Cons are that the A7RV is a pretty large photography camera to carry around.

Benefits of Option B I feel are that the A7CR is small and easy to carry around, cons are that I feel I'm wasting the capabilities of the A7RV by using it solely as a cinema rig.

What are your guys opinions?

If it were me, I would use the same method for choosing new gear that I used to choose my present gear.

Not exactly what I was asking.

Decide of the cameras you have which one is easiest to operate and which do you like the best. Take it from there. If your chasing which one is best, your chasing your tail. Best simply depends on who your talking to!

I went a bit off of my original plan actually. I got an A7Cii for more city photography stuff and a Blackmagic Pyxis 6k as my primary cine rig with and a micro studio camera 4k g2 for gimbal work.
I'm now using my A7RV for portrait and wildlife. The a6500 is now just a toss it in my car or pack in case there's something fun to photograph.
