Any pro or amateur photographers around?

I’m gonna dive back in after 40 years. I started with a 35mm SLR Canon AE-1 in the early 80’s and stopped with a Nikon AF2020. Since getting out I did picked up a LUMIX digital autofocus and still use it occasionally.

My plan is to go the way of mirrorless digital and current leader in my research is a Canon R10, an intermediate level that supports autofocus, video, and manual settings.

Can anyone comment, contribute, or suggest?
 
I've been thinking of getting a digital camera, even though my phone does great. I'm learning the various settings it comes with.
If i bought a digital, it would have to have the full size sensor. I'm thinking Sony A7.

My background with film cameras: Mom gave me a Praktika 35mm when i graduated from grammar school. I had various lenses, and other stuff for it. When wife got pregnant in 87, I decided to up my game. I bought a Mamiya RB67 Pro S. I had a 120 back, a 220 back, a poloroid back, 90mm, 250mm, and a macro, a magnifying hood, a prism hood, and a Mamiya handle. I had a very expensive Bogen tripod with a fluid head. A couple of meters and a good portable flash unit. I bought a Speedotron brownline light system with umbrellas. I could blow up photos to poster size with the clarity of a 8x10 from a 35mm. That system was awesome.
Ya, I got into it.
Then digital came on the scene. I looked into a digital back for it. That was about 1990. It was over $20,000. It was maybe 20 years later I sold all my film equipment and have just been using the phone.

I got a vintage canon and do it sometimes but still very much an amateur and it is just a sometimes thing for me other art takes too much of my time and focus.
