Camera gear for Japan trip (D600 vs A6000)

wewzmaster · Dec 22, 2014

So here's the deal, I'm going on a once in a lifetime tour around japan and I really hope to take great pictures along the way. The problem is that due to fact that I will be travelling most of the time I cant afford to bring to much gear so I am left with the choice of either bringing a D600+24-70 Tamron or a6000+ kit lens+ 35mm 1.8.

I am considering on bringing the a6000 because it offers more mobility as it is lighter but I don't to give up the image quality of the d600. Which Camera should I bring? the heavier d600 or the a6000?

in the grand scheme of things, how much does the D600 really limit you in terms of mobilty in regards to the a6000 w/ 2 lens.

Well I will only bring 1 camera bag and it can only either fit the d600 or the a6000. I cant afford to take a bigger bag because I need to carry stuff for my kids

how mobility limiting is the d600, really, over the a6000?

Lets change the question, would you prefer on bringing a d600 or an a6000 and do you think that If I bring the a6000, it will take a good enough photo(not saying if its bad or anything) compared to the d600. I'm sorry if I'm not making much sense, I'm only a hobbyist/intermediate
