Advice/Opinions Sought ... Will a R6ii with 1.4TC deliver better results than the R7? than a R7 ?

I currently have the R7 and RF 100-500 and enjoy the equivalent 800mm FoV and eye AF/tracking for birding. I have no real issues with how the R7 operates. I also have the 18-150mm kit lens and 50mm 1.8 for portraits/landscapes.

I generally shoot the R7 in FV mode and EFCS at 15FPS, and occasionally 4kFine for video at either 25 or 50FPS. I don't use pre-record or rarely electronic shutter.

I recently sold my Nikon Z6 and lens's and have funds to buy the

  • R6 or R6ii
  • 24-105 f4-7.1 and
  • 1.4TC to give reach to 700mm

I am trying to figure out whether the R6/R6ii with a 1.4TC will be a move up in terms of IQ, etc for birding.

Whilst the R7 and 100-500 shoots at f6.3 for 700mm .... the R6/R6ii with 1.4TC will be at f10 for 700mm. In addition, the R7 has 32.5MP compared to 20/24MP.

Would you trade to the R6ii or continue with the R7?

Thanks for any advice

Regards

Robbey
