7Dii wouldn't be first choice if I could get a D500 (should have listened to Arbitrage long ago)
but it would BIF with the 400DOii eh, and add the MC-11 for perched.
Haha, I don't think such a pm is likely to ever happen I meant it tongue in cheek really. But still your report on the A7rII is greatly appreciated!
In fact, I've cut my choice down to either 400DOII or 500PF for a while now, main reason being portability as I mainly hike and cycle with my set-up, not by car. Only thing holding me back from the 400DOII was that I do not like Canon camera bodies so much, and lately of course the 500PF, but it is f5.6 at 500mm, while with the Canon I have 400mm f4, 560mm f5.6 and 800mm f8, which is also closer to the Pentax set-up (DA560 f5.6 + 1.4TC) that I have been using for the past 5 years.
If you might wonder why I definitely want to change away from the Pentax: it has unreliable AF, mainly unreliable first focus lock, not so good OOF and color abberations, a rather unwieldly form factor and 3.1 kg weight, and the lack of a current Pentax body that I like. I got into the Pentax set-up at a time the 400DOII and the Nikon 500PF were not around yet, and the Canon, Nikon and Sony 500mm lenses were pretty much inaffordable to me.
Either the Canon 400DOII or the Nikon 500PF should be a solid upgrade for the years to come.
