Eleven dollars difference and no difference in image quality or lens compatibility. Get the one you like better which would seem to be the 5200.

Sony NEX-6 with the detestable 16mm pancake lens. El Salvador. My work lives at johnsevigny.org

IMO, 250-300 dollars is WAY too expensive for that flash. I'm a long-time Sony user (NEX3, 6, and a6000). My advice. Get a 20-dollar Sony adapter and stick a Neewer or Yongnuo flash on your camera (or any other flash for that matter). Or just use the pop up flash to trigger the bigger one. Seriously, there is no need to spend more than 100 bucks on a flash. Chinese technology is your friend. Sony does indeed suck when it comes to hot shoes, compatibility, etc. That said, the NEX6 is probably my favorite Sony mirrorless and if mine hadn't been stolen I'd be using it today.

Q line between Coney Island and Manhattan.

This one has literally been through a war. It's far too ugly to sell. And now the zoom ring is jammed. Otherwise, it's an ugly duckling and a work horse. Sell for parts or repair? I'd expect to get about $23 bucks for it on ebay. How much would a repair cost me? And any suggestions for a tech?
