| Focal range covered in FF terms | 14-300mm | 16-200mm |
| Pros | better sports features, better grip, better weathersealing, MF clutches, much more focal range | better Eye AF for moving subjects and animals, 1EV more shallow DOF and 1EV better IQ |
| Cons | Selected portrait lenses and night lens are not weathersealed and have 2EV less narrow DOF, but travel is about context so this is probably not an issue; the UW zoom cannot be used with a filter; | almost 50% heavier and almost 50% more expensive; there are no suitable native lens options to get to 300mm apart from the very heavy and very expensive 100-400mm lens, and any good full frame lens to 300mm will be well over 1kg - a travel alternative is to add a Sony APS-C NEX camera to give that reach with the 70-200mm lens |
