I currently use an a6000 with a 19mm and 35mm prime with a 55-210mm for zoom. Iv'e recently found myself getting more into wildlife photography but obviously with this setup and only a 55-210mm it's lacking reach. This lens is also noticeably worse in quality at 210mm.
I intend to keep this setup (great for day to day/travel) but was looking into higher end Nikons together with the telephoto lenses including the Sigma 150-600mm. There seems like there's so many pros and cons to full frame vs crop sensor I'm not entirely sure what would be best to go for. The crop sensor gives more zoom but the sensor will be worse at higher ISO's - 800+?. Then there's the higher MP count of the full frame setups allowing for heavier crops which offsets some of the advantage of the crop sensor giving more reach. Is it more down to handling, focus points, focus speed and burst capability as a result? Other purposes of the camera as a secondary consideration to sway it as there is no right answer?
