Confused between pentax k500 and Nikon D5200?

I am basically looking at a cam for wildlife photography…il get a k500 with 18-55+50-200 lens in cheaper rate than d5200 with 18-55 lens only.My confusion and concerns are as follows:

Though video is not of primary importance to me…I can deal with absence of 60fps but absence of stereo sound recording hurts me a bit in case of pentax.
megapixels aside…another thing is that focus points cant bbe seen in the pentax's viewfinder…now I hhavent got my hands on one…so Is it that we cant see focus points at all or can we see atleast the area focused with green dots after pressing half the shutter key. I would like to know that.
another couple of things I am concerned with pentax is absence of IR sensor on the screen side of the camera…and lack of swivel screen…but pentaprism and in body SR compensates for that in my book…so fellas.what shud i do?

Whats so special in Japan?

LONG BUT PLEASE READ -
First of all I am not a hater and this is serious question out of my curiosity.
I always wondered why is japan so awesome I mean after the Hiroshima-Nagasaki they developed so quickly. The crime rate is very low. There food is famous, they have some great manga's, they made some epic animes like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. They made crazy awesome shows like power rangers. In Technology no one can defeat Japan. The people there are friendly and attractive, there culture is so good. They respect elders and are very polite and punctual. To top that off, their culture and their traditional martial arts are very much emulated not only in the West but worldwide. In the field of sophisticated precision electronics they are the best. Look at Tokyo the best city in the world and better than Dubai, New York, London, Toronto, Shanghai. It is also largest city in the world. It is also the world's busiest city,neon lights, hip cats, mega towers, and a rowdy subway. Their streets, their toilets are so modern and advanced. Sumo is a sport that is over 2000 years old. Japan has tons of original invention. They have super high internet speeds. The have some huge global companies like Sony, Honda, Canon, Nikon, Nintendo, etc. They made the Play Station. There electronic companies are by far the best in the world. They also made some great video games. Architecture and Infrastructure of the cities is good. They have electronic toilets. Japan also has universal healthcare - they have a system where everyone is covered and it's affordable. So that's another huge thing you don't have to worry about in Japan, whereas in America you do. The food is much better, healthier, more delicious and of higher quality in Japan. Japan has the lowest obesity rate in the world. Japan has the the best public transportation in the world. Japan has turned to be the land of producing things with skilled, discipline and technology oriented workers in the world. They have the highest average IQ. Every new idea has turned to be the new product efficiently. From what i heard they are 10 or 15 years ahead of us! And they have many more awesome things which I cannot write here.
I just love japan and can't wait to go there.

So what makes the so superior to others. How are they doing so well?
Will Japan be a Super Power in 2050?

Camera settings for newborn photo shoot?

What camera settings do you recommend for photographing newborns indoors with natural available window light?
I am thinking ISO 400-600, F1.4-2.8, 1/125 sec?
Spot metering or dynamic metering and why?
Single focus or continous focus?

* With newborns, I find myself placing the focal point on the eye closest to the camera and then while keeping the shutter pressed half way down recomposing the shot with rule of 1/3rd and pressing shutter completely to take the shot. In order to do this technique must I shoot in single focus area mode? If I were to use this technique in continuous focus area mode would I loose the sharp focus obtained from the eye when I recompose because the camera would then focus on the new focus point I recomposed the camera too?
Thanks for your help and suggestions
**I shoot with a Nikon D300

Viewfinders on camaras, which is best?

What is/are the differences then between the 'eye-level pentamirror version and the evf?
Can anyone explain?

Sony a6000 or nikon d5300…Which would you choose?
My choice is the Sony, as it is lighter.
The specs on both seem ideal for a non professional.
Many thanks
