There are so many things to consider. Lens library, ur budget, ur photography preference etc.

Just cause FF body is cheap doesnt mean the lens library is cheap as well. Consider the focal length and aperture u want and check the lens price before u jump into FF. I laugh at people buying f4 lens on FF body and then complain not enough bokeh lol. Apsc can produce better result than FF if u know what to look for.

Also FYI, FF can be compact, see Sony A7C with the Sony FF compact/almost pancake lens. The only caveat is the price.

ZV-E1 is video centric. If u want for photo get like A7iii or A7C or something with mechanical shutter.

I'm not really sure what's ur goal with FF. If u doing this professionally or u have lots of money, FF is better deal as it offers more versatility and lens selection. But in no way its budget friendly unless u dive into vintage and knowing second hand markets.

Speed booster in very simplified summary just make smaller sensor e.g. M43 or Apsc acts like FF when paired with dslr FF lens. Note I mentioned dslr lens since it only works with lens designed for camera with long mounting flange onto mirroless camera with shorter flange.

But since u mention efs lens, if not mistaken (I'm not canon guy) isn't that just aspc lens? Then speedbooster is useless.

Speedbooster concentrate FF circle to smaller circle to fit into apsc sensor. The opposite of that is teleconverter but I don't think that's what u looking for. I think u confuse on lots of thing from what I read. U better look into utube video on speedbooster first.

If u primary aim for low light, then sure FF is the way to go. But like i mentioned FF gears are not cheap so u better do some price study on lens and camera combo first. Don't buy FF body and then cheap out on lens. Apsc can also do lowlight (paired with fast lens) but of course not as good as FF. Really depends on the quality level u want.

Really teleconverter just make the image worse so don't think about it. It's only useful if u want more tele reach. It never meant for fitting apsc lens circle onto FF.

If u go FF, just go FF lens. Apsc with apsc lens. Anything in between like speedbooster and such if u have zero clue how to use them, don't buy into them since there are many other issue if u use it.

Just do some research before buying. There are tons of utube video on this.

O boy. Everytime I hear someone only owning 85mm f1.8 or tele lens, I assume u took advice from someone that say that is the focal length to get for portrait with nicest "bokeh", am I right?

I think u miss out on a lot of things just thinking of bokeh all time. Most impactful portrait shot is with wide angle lens, IMO.

But again it's ur money. Since u already own canon lens, then better stick with canon R plus adapter for the lens.

I also agree eos m is pretty stupid move by canon. But currently it's the only mirror less canon apsc camera that has third party lens from the likes of sigma. Also people who bought into eos m is not going spend much anyway so it's not much of sacrifice since canon R lineup doesn't even allow 3rd party cheap lens

However for new buyers..... Don't buy into eos m now.

Btw, since u so budget conscious, I don't think canon in their current state is right for u unless u got existing canon dslr lens.

If u already have those lens then just go canon. U only need to spend a bit more on the official adapter.

But I still suggest to jump out of canon if possible cause unless u r professional photographer, canon system is kinda stupid for budget user.

Give u example, they released R series Apsc sensor. But they don't have proper prime apsc lens at all. And to make it worse, no 3rd party lens allowed. Wtf canon?
