Thanks for feedback.

It's a shame that these cameras ale so close to all-arounders, but still - either choice is going to be very good.

I think im going for larger battery life / mic jack - D5300.

Hello there!

I thought I could extract the answer from existing content @EOSHD but I need some final, personal confirmation.

I'm struggling to choose between these two cameras: D5300 vs A6000.

My needs cover both videos and photos equally (50/50) BUT with good low light handling (high ISO) and dynamic range. As these cameras have pretty much the same sensor, I should expect them to produce similar IQ/noise levels, right?

Here are my concerns about each model:

D5300:

- poor ergonomics (changing aperture)

- no assists like peaking, zebras

- slow video autofocus and terrible audio noise

A6000:

- short battery life

- expensive and small lens collection

- no microphone jack

To sum it up, I need something with good video/photo performance, dynamic range and low light capabilities. Ability to expand with accesories like battery grips is also welcome just as cheap & wide lens collection.

If only D5300 had peaking or if only A6000 had mic jack/longer battery life... or maybe there is another camera that I didn't know about?

(on a side note: I know there is possibility to connect to android device and control through app - is there some sort of peaking option regardless of it's lack in original body?)
