To be bluntly honest and based on your question's criteria flip a coin.

Is weight really a big issue, honestly? If it is the answer is obvious.

Is the difference in price really a big issue? If it is the answer is obvious.

Will the lenses available from either be suitable to the type of photography your interested in? My guess here is that in the very slim chance neither will fill your needs there's a number of other quality lens makers that can meet your needs for the camera you select.

That brings up the real question, what do you need, what kind of photography do you envision for your self. Which of the two brands has the most function and options that will meet those needs?

The question is too vague, the criteria too nebulous for any one to be able to answer it.

My main photointerests are: landscapes, travel and monuments, churches etc. I love taking photos, when possible, of churches and also inside where you can find many interesting things to photograph. I rarely do macro and portraits because its not for me.
Tomorrow I'm going to Plovdiv and will bring my Oly gear (1 body and max 2 lenses). So as you can see both match my needs and have plenty of lenses for my type of photography. And yes cost is a problem but not a huge one. You know I'm not a pro so my concern is that expensive lenses are hard to justify to my wife and from what I see Sony lenses are maybe more expensive than Nikons. On the other hand weight is a concern.
I Know it seems a silly question but fore me it is not.
Probably its a serious GAS attack :shock:

Elandel ~ consider the Sony A6000. The price is right and it is a fantastic camera. I love it!

I'm a Nikon guy so of coarse I'm going to recommend Nikon. But a big reason I am a Nikon guy is because of the glass. They have a huge number of lenses available that are top quality. If you are moving up to full frame, then the slight weight savings of the Sony shouldn't matter much anyway. I have never regretted having Nikons.

No, it's not a silly question at all. It's just the wording was a bit too general to be able to answer it with any specifics.

Think of it as asking whether you should get a Lincoln or a cadi and one is cheaper then the other and one weighs less. Well the ford people will vote for the Lincoln, the Chevi people the Caddi, and God only knows what you will hear from the mopar people. Total help in a resolution near 0%.

Car or camera someone needs to know what your needs and desires are to be able to give an intelligent answer.

Can you please quantify 'slight' weight savings?

I would agree with the post above that suggests the Sony A6000. It is a less expensive body, and you can afford to invest in better lenses. I do not suggest any sensor smaller than APS-C due to your landscape photos, and the possible need to crop, etc. In any case, Sony is the world's leader in sensor technology, and the image quality you get with their products cannot be beaten!

I concur. The Sony A6000 is a fantastic camera.

One thing you may or may not have thought of is "you buy a camera, and then you start to accumulate lenses"--which pretty much means that that is your camera brand for life--Nikon has never changed its lens mount--the very first lens I ever owned will still fit on my newest Nikon--whether Sony will even be making cameras ten years from now is an unanswered question--I would stick to Nikon or Canon--but Canon has in the past changed its mount--which makes me glad I chose Nikon.

Yes I know. I had a D7100 and it was an awesome camera then stupidly sold it because of weight but at the end of the day I don't lug cameras around all day if not in very particular situations like holidays and even then I have a lighter setup that is my Oly gear.
Yhe more I look at it the more I'm getting aware that it is really a very severe attack of GAS and so I must feed it otherwise it will grow more and until I go after something like D750 or A7MKII. :shock: :mrgreen:

Both. Sony a6000 and the d610. I did. They both have their place. I like having the choice between crop sensor and FF.

If you're unsure, rent one of each for a weekend. I'm a Nikon guy, so I'm way biased.
