The R7 and R5 are better cameras for wildlife than the R6 - the R7 will get you the most "pixels on duck", while the R5 is a "workhorse" for wildlife. R6 is better for portrait work, etc because it has lower noise, etc than the R7/R5.

Is this noise statement correct? Do we really are less noise with R6/R5 at probably ISO 100? I know this is off topic but I see this idea quite a lot.

I have never used a R6, but I have heard alot of people say the R6 has less noise than the R5.  I think it is because the R6 has fewer pixels thus larger pixels which require less electrical amplification which increases noise.

We use the 1.4x iii with the 100-400 ii quite a lot. Mostly static object or static with something rotating.

It's a really good combination, not lightweight, pretty fast facus time to lock on, quiet and has survived the elements.

Yeah, the 100-400 ii with or without a tele has been a good combo for me on my old 90D and the R5.  To me, the R5 with the 100-400 ii is a great walk around wildlife combo.
