[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 649100, member: 43924"] The D5600 is a very capable camera with outstanding image quality - definitely not a poor choice even in the long haul. While much more feature rich than a D3xxx, it still is a 'consumer' camera, though, in a sense that its whole control concept targets consumers generally preferring simplicity over access to every little detail. Don't get me wrong: you can do almost everything with it that you can do with Nikon's 'prosumer' and pro bodies. Doing so may just be a bit harder and less convenient, plus a few features remain out of reach. Just to give you an idea of what this might mean: bracketing and flash sync control options, for example, are quite limited on the D5xxx bodies. The former is merely a convenience issue, but the latter can get irksome if you do lots of flash work at some point. If you think you might get more ambitious over time, wanting better access to and greater control of your camera's settings, @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-43526-jc32750.html"]jc32750[/URL] definitely has a point. Otherwise, get a D5600, start taking great pictures, and be happy with it. Your pics will look as good as with the D7200. Hard to give a generic answer here because this really depends on what you like to shoot. If you like nature walks and expect to take shots of birds and other wildlife, 140mm is not nearly enough as your longest focal length. I would opt for Nikon's AF-P 70-300 in that case, but not for the 18-55; though it is not terrible, Sigma's 17-50 and 17-70 are sharper, feature better built, have a slightly shorter focal length, and can open wider so they perform better in low light. If you're into portrait shooting, on the other hand, that prime+mid-range zoom choice sounds good. If architecture is your thing, you may want something even wider than 17 or 18mm. Hard to give good advice without having details, so please be more specific on your favorite subjects if you want more suggestions from your fellow Nikonites. [/QUOTE]
