Moose,
I asked my friend, and he says he is shooting a Sony full frame a7rii
with a 200-600 lens. Most of his bird pix are handheld, with an
occasional monopod, rarely a tripod. He uses a tripod for video.
That sounds like a lot more load than I would care to deal with at my
age, but he's about 20 years younger.

On FF or APS-C? That makes a pretty big difference for that kind of
photography. 600 mm on APS-C is about 900 mm eq., my 400 mm on µ4/3
is 800 mm. The TC will take me out to 1120 mm eq.
Moose, I honestly don't know. I'm unfamiliar with all of the Sony
mumbo jumbo.
LOL! No more mumbo jumbo than Oly (µ)4/3 arcana. 😁
He is getting great bird shots, and airplanes overhead, so seems to
have quite a reach.
Well, 600 mm is quite a lot of reach, even on FF. Just more reach on
crop sensor bodies.
That Sony is twice as big and three times the weight of the Oly
100-400. I think I'll pass.
