Again, on the A6600, I am just wanting to make sure you understand the full implications of not having an onboard camera strobe for optical strobe sync. You will have to use a trigger and with no fall back to the camera flash if the trigger goes dead, TU, or otherwise is not appropriate for the situation. Also, with the exception of the UWT trigger, you lose strobe sTTL capability with the A6600. Mr. Chris is making some good points on the M4:3 cameras to take note of.
I got tired of shooting with my little (and wonderful) S90 and being chastised for my toy camera with a tiny sensor. Which the S90 sensor is huge compared to the little darling TG! But aside, the biggest sensor I could get with the most dynamic range was the Sony APS-C and still remain portable. The Sony sensor I believe is borrowed by Nikon. The A6400 body is weather resistant with sealed controls. I would not purposely leave it out in the rain like I would have my old Nikon FMII Titanium body with honey comb titanium shutter and the only battery in it ran the light meter. Nobody builds anything like those old Nikon tanks today, and that is a huge compromise to me much less the ruggedness of my Nikonos III. Yeah, everything today is a compromise, we have cameras with 28 menu driven controls or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH!
Okay I will play. You have a budget of $15,000. Then there is only one and that is the Sony A7-RIV full frame mirrorless and Nauticam housing and Retra Pro strobes. And the $4,500 to $7,500 WACP optical port. And the man servant, since you have no kids to help tote it. Not sure what those cost? Oh, and you can then afford a spare or two optical triggers.
I hate digital obsolescence. We used to be able to update our cameras to the latest sensor technology every time we bought a new roll of film. Let me know if you get a price on a man servant:
