I will have to start saving for a full frame camera. I do agree about extra "reach" on a crop camera. But is there image resolution difference as well?

yeah, no crop difference. the only difference is that the EF-S lens can vignette, while the EF won't, or would be barely noticeable, as the vignetting area of the FF lens is cropped.

I bet that camera isn’t cheap at all. But is there any quality difference when using lenses from crop to ff ? I meant, I’m very happy now with images Quality when shooting with my 7d m2. But how this will perform on a full frame ?

I'd like to express my point of view as I do only macrophotography. I began with a Nikon D3200 and after a D7200 which are both Apsc crop sensors. Now I've changed to a more croped sensor as I use a Olympus OM-D e-m10 mk3 with MFT sensor.
The ISO problem isn't a real problem as I shoot with a flash everytime. The image quality is according to me as nice as with my D7200 and resolution of 16Mpixels on a MFT sensor is equivalent to 32Mpx on a FF sensor (regarding the size of photosites) as the MFT is two times smaller than the FF sensor.
So yes I'm fan of my MFT sensor which allows me with my Laowa 50mm supermacro lens 2:1 to reach a photo frame field of 6x9mm.

if you check any lens review website or youtube channel, you would find that FF lenses always perform worse on APS-C cameras and the reason again is that, usually, there are a lot more pixels on the area of an APS-C sensor than on the same area of a FF one.

this guy is a good example. he usually shows how lenses perform on both FF and APS-C cameras.

so you saying if I'm using FF lenses on my crop camera, the photo quality won't be the best?

Thanks for your opinion MinitecaPhotographie , I'm still using crop camera, but the reason I'm asking is, I'm thinking to upgrade maybe next year to full frame mirrorless camera.
