GrantLewisIsDNTMDepends what you're using it for... If you're exclusively filming skiing, Id say go with either the a6500 or stick with your 7D. The GH5 is a monster that is going to be way more than you need for skiing. But if you are doing actual film stuff, cinematography and whatnot, get the GH5.
eheathThis is a silly comment. OP you were using a fs700 before, the a6500 will feel like a toy to you, the screen will make you want to toss it off a cliff. Get a GH5, it's currently future proof. The 4k60 and in camera stabilization is worth it over the a6500 IMO.
Which canon lenses do you have? TBH i use the 7.5mm fish and tokina 11-16 with a normal adapter and its wide enough, the crop isn't really a problem, you dont NEED a speed booster, if you want to save money.
GrantLewisIsDNTMCant say anything in a media thread without eheath disowning you over it. Do whatever fits your budget. You already have the camera you want to buy in the back of your head, just get it if its right for you.

chris.goodhuemaybe a noob question, but i'm confused on the speed boosters still...how would you adjust the aperture without a speedbooster with the 11-16?

eheathThey make regular adapters that are electronic too. Personally, I use nikon lenses because the aperture can be adjusted without electronics, making the adapter cheaper.
A speed booster has a glass element, changing the crop factor and adding a stop of light to your range, but you can buy a metabones that adapts to EOS and doesn't have a glass element and doesn't affect your crop/exposure.

nutz.I sort of get what you're saying if you're talking solely about price - if you focus on the replacing the fs700 part though, there's no sense in intentionally crippling yourself with the a6500 over the gh5 (going to gh5 is already going to have some drawbacks and the a6500 more so)
Goonsquad_Prod.That gh5 6k anamorphic video tho..... shit looks absolutely amazing. I think I'm sold. I didn't actually sell my fs700 yet tho, I tried to set it up as buy it now or best offer on ebay but scammers keep buying it within 2-3 hours of me posting it. fuck ebay
GrantLewisIsDNTMeBay is the worst. Took 4 delistings to sell my GH3 because people would bid on it, win the auction, and then wouldn't pay or claim they thought it was a GH4 or 5... Done with eBay forever, lost $50 to them just today because someone described one of my brand new items as broken. Fuck eBay
