Why invest? I would add a 150-600 Sigma lens if you are serious about wildlife. Or if you have $9500 to throw away buy the Nikon 600mm lens. Good luck figuring it out

I am keeping my D7000, even after buying my new D7200. For now, have my 18-200 VR ll on my 7200, and my 70-300 4.5-5.6 VR on my 7000.
Considering the 10-24, especially if we go out West next spring.
But the 7000 as a backup or separately with a telephoto will stay with me,
I still love it.

I'd also comment, why dump your D7000? Is there something it won't do that you need it to do?

I don't understand this need to upgrade a camera every time something new come's along. I've still got my D5000 but also went to a D7000. Only advantage I find for the D7000 that I can use is it's a heftier camera and I like that. It's auto focus is faster, which is why I went to it but I think the speed of burst shooting with it exceeds it's focus speed. I shut it down to 3 fps to give it more time to focus. Other than the size, I really don't see the advantage to it? Were I the OP I'd stay with the DSLR he has and consider a longer lens for it. About mirrorless I don't know the first thing, never even seen one. Everybody seem's to be always looking for a better mouse trap even though the one they have does every thing they want and then some!

Photography is a hobby for most people and for some its as much about the equipment as it is about images.
I'd venture to say that many people have more equipment than they use or will ever need.

My first dslr which l still have was a D5000. In June 2012, I upgraded to a D7000, which l still have. Last month I upgraded to a D7200.
Now I have all three; I leave my 18-200 VR ll on the 7200, put my 70-300 4.5-5.6 VR on my 7000, and have an 18-105 VR on my 5000 which I keep in my car all the time, in a styrofoam cooler.

The Sony a6000 poses no issues in low-light sports venues for me.
I use it coupled to the 50/1.8 O.S.S. lens.
Any camera be it DSLR or MILC, can use help from faster lenses to do the job in low-light. Especially for action sports.
I would not say one is more important than the other, but it is important to match the right tools to get the job done right.

I got the D7200 after a D5200. The bigger buffer for continuous shooting and the better low light performance were worth the extra bucks over the D7100 for me as a bird and wildlife enthusiast. I have yet to find an electronic viewfinder that can hold a candle to the live optical viewfinder on a DSLR. Very important for action shots. My 2 cents...

Quote from the original post "The sport I shoot is cycling." So far as I know cycling is a daylight outdoor sport. No need for low light performance. Weatherproofing and fixed lens are advantages as is long reach. for under 400 bucks he can get a lightweight bridge camera that goes from 24mm to 1200mm and 8 fpm, 16 mp, and keep his Nikon and XT-1 for other subjects. Unless you are going to stalk wildlife with a huge long lens, haul a tripod and other assorted gear, you have a better chance of getting good shots with a single lens lightweight camera and perhaps a monopod.
