I have the D5200 in consideration (mainly because of the swivel screen). Harder to choose is the lens, and consequently the system.

In that case the T5i is very good and quite modestly priced. The 80D is truly excellent but more expensive.

I have thought about tue 10-18 STM, but isn't it a bit restricting?

How so? It's an excellent lens, especially for the money. And it's an IS lens so you can handhold it at amazingly slow shutter speeds. For architecture I would take IS over a fast lens any day. It's too wide for a general-purpose lens, but for architecture it's truly, amazingly wide. With it you can photograph interiors. For general purpose you can just use the kit lens, 18-55mm, either Canon or Nikon. Nikon has a somewhat equivalent lens, but it's a lot more expensive.

That means you recommend using the kit lens and the 10-18 STM, is that right? I was trying to avoid using two lenses, but if that is the best path...
