Combo pros wildlife:

-60% more reach or almost double the pixels on subject depending on how you think about it.

No, just get a 1.4x extender. Bonus: you get a wider field of view with the camera you have, with the same "reach".  Plus, the lenses are designed specifically for that format.  You're not cropping by default, as you would be with a "crop" sensor.

To be sure, the R7 was an attractive low-price alternative, but you lose a lot of price advantage by buying and selling cameras.

...Combo cons wildlife:

- that rather loud shutter

It's rather rough too. You can feel it.
