... with R7 I have to throw away TC

Before you do that, send it to my friend.
I'm sure he likes to use it with his R7 and 800STM for birding

Your friend might consider the slight fog in the shot to be an artistic expression

Yes, that explains why I had much better results in combination, R10+100-400 with TC, some of my best photos were created. On R7 the pixels are already too dense and diffraction is visible ... with R7 I have to throw away TC

Your R7 has the resolution/reach of a 1.9xTC on an R6ii or a 1.4x on an R5/R5ii. I have pointed out many times before you joined CR that my wife using the R7 + RF 100-400mm gets images very close in IQ and resolution to mine from the R5ii with the RF 100-500mm. I used to use the EF 400mm f/4 DO ii on the 90D that has the same sensor as the R7, and the f/4 really gets the best from the dense sensor, and the 1.4xTC works well with it.

Please throw it away in my direction...

i dont throw it away

R10 + 100-400 + 1.4 TC

I don't know why Canon is chasing megapixels...

You've convincingly demonstrated it's not the camera, but the photographer!

+1 Well done, Sir!

The first time a Scarce Chaser reported at our local nature reserve. Stopped for only enough time for a single shot from my R5ii + RF 200-800mm.

"The equipment that matters, is you"!
Camera/lens combo matters but the same combo in different hands (same/similar conditions!) in so many times is giving pretty different results (by far not intended!)!

Same impression here. Some 24-36 MP are more than enough for me.

Some green-eyed hawkers.

And the black-tailed skimmers are also here now - mating
The female (still yellow) is still pretty immature.
I hope for the male that doesn't count as sex with a minor

and after

And some scarce chasers in action:

Dinner. Bee?

 

[AlanF]

My first decent shots of an Emperor (R5ii + RF 100-500mm). It was hawking and not hovering, and really tantalising me.

Beautiful! I especially like the second one. Well done, Alan.
