Nikon d7200

Considering exchanging my a6000 with 3 lenses for a d7200 and sigma 17-50 2.8 with the intention of a macro lens and telephoto for wildlife in future. Whilst I like the a6000 there is literally no decent general purpose zoom that's reasonably fast and lens choice is limited. Been offered £460 (around £60-70 more than a uk retailer) for my camera setup and can pick up the d7200 for £560 with the sigma lens imported new without guarantee for only £190. This is over £250 less than if I was to buy in the uk which isn't worth the lens guarantee. The only thing I see as a negative is the extra weight and lack of flip out screen. Any opinions?

Was gonna say surely there must be a bog standard walkabout lens for that system, but just checked the Sony website and you're right, £2.5k rrp for a 16-35mm f/2.8 lol, what a joke.

You can't go wrong with the Nikon D7200 it's the best crop camera on the market currently.

There's literally hardly any lenses available. Had it near launch again purchased abroad so much cheaper. A few people have said there is a lack of support due to Sony putting most of their efforts into the ff market, although how people can justify the a6300 and a6500 with such few lenses available is beyond me.

Yes, have the 35mm 1.8 and it's decent. The 19mm sigma 2.8 has also been great for very little money. Coming from these, you just don't want to use the kit lens so then look into upgrades years later to find there aren't any. Expected this initially, but not now and with the 6300 and 6500. It's unfortunately the cameras biggest limiting factor I think.

The d7500 body is a lot more money here and the fact the screen is actually worse than the d7200 is a big no.
