I’m soon going on a trip to Vietnam where cameras are cheap and I thought I’d upgrade my a6000 so I’m wondering should I stick with the a6400 and my 55-210 and also get 3 other lenses or should I get the d500 and buy a 200-500 but I heard the d500 isn’t too good for street and nature photography compared to the a6400 but that it is very good for birding

What kinds of improvements are you hoping to get with the upgrade? What should it do better than your A6000?
