/u/Zhork - sorry to hear about your 7D Mark II. I'll try to answer your questions one at a time.
> I would love to jump to a full frame camera and does at least 1080 @120fps, but may consider other more affordable options. I was looking at the Sony line and seriously considering the A7rii and the s models, yet the s did not have the photo capabilties of the Rii.
For the best balance between stills, video and affordability, I recommend a [$1348 cropped sensor Sony A6500 (with a free 64 GB Sony SD card and a couple of extra batteries)] (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera-Accessory/dp/B01M5GWLRZ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) plus a [$395 Metabones fifth generation smart adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/Metabones-Canon-Mount-Smart-Adapter/dp/B071W6BKDQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) for your Canon glass.
> does having a full frame vs a cropped one matter while shooting video?
Not really. The last time you went to the movie theater or watched series television, you probably saw a motion picture shot on a camera with a Super 35mm sensor or film frame - about the same size as the APS-C sensor in your 7D MkII.
Like your 7D MkII, the A6500 has an APS-C sensor, and takes high quality 24.2 MP stills (seen [here] (https://www.flickr.com/groups/3081335@N25/pool)).
It's a very capable, internally stabilized 4K video camera as well.
Here are a few examples of the image quality it can produce:
Handheld
1080/120 fps
> I also wonder if there are affordable underwater solutions for whatever model you recommend
Yes, because of its compact form factor, there are several affordable underwater cases for the A6500 (not including the more expensive Nauticam and Aquatica cases):
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your upgrade!
