Different tastes for different people.
Unless you are really unusual I will bet that my idea of "hot sauce" is different from your idea of hot sauce. I grew up with Cayenne Pepper Sauce as a normal thing on my food.
The first time I ate with my then future wife's family (Mexican-American) they were astonished that I put three times as much HOT Salsa on my food than any of them did. Huh? A white boy hillbilly who ate salsa like it was sweet relish!
They didn't know about Southern BBQ sauce and Frank's hot sauce.

Have you ever tried to shoot birds in flight with a manual telephoto lens? You must not do a lot of BiF . . .
It was a joke Gene, maybe a bad joke but a joke all the same. I have that converter for old manual lenses and I actually have gotten a few BIF shots off with an old Canon FD 300mm f/4 and a Pentax SMC 50mm f/1.2.

To each his own. I think Regis would agree with you about the 5Ds R.

Regis and I have the same setup, same camera, lens, and extender.

No such thing as a perfect camera and a lot of pros seemed to think the 7DII was up to the job. You just need to know what it will and will not do.

The shooters I hung out with in NY prefered full frame, high MP cameras to crop cameras. I don't disagree with them. I won't go as far as saying a crop camera is necessarily a wrong choice, but I do think image quality, and simply keeping a fast moving subject in the frame trumps the "reach" of a crop camera. I would be quite happy with a D850 myself, but this is a Canon thread.

Then there is a whole other world of HOT when you consider the Carolina Reaper
I grow weapon's grade Ghost peppers in my garden, and make a very "angry" sauce from them when I harvest in the fall.

And I used to do birds with a 300mm F4 Takumar on a Spotmatic, and later with a 600mm F8 Sigma reflex on a Contax RTSII - but I wouldn't want to ever do that again . . .
Great pelican and laughing gull, btw.

I have that Takumar Lens, I collect mostly Takumars and a few others but have about 40 old vintage lenses, that was my primary interest in getting a mirrorless system.

The difference may be $$$$.
In the case of your example, a D7500 in much less expensive than a D850.

And the longer lens needed will also be costly.
