Up voted as well. I just purchased an a6500 after quite the back and forth with myself.

Fuji actually uses Sony sensors. So the XPro2 / XT2 has the exact same sensor as a a6300 and a6500. So on paper, the Sony have a lot more going for them in terms of price to features. It should be really interesting to see what kind of pressure that puts on them.

That's not to say that the Sony's are better cameras. Fuji has a great glass selection, has arguably better ergonomics, but is also slightly larger and heavier. Fuji is a great camera company no doubt.

Overall, in the APS-C format, the offerings are pretty comparable across a wide range of price points.

Edit: Sony does not have the exact same sensor as the Fuji. Fuji's X-Trans sensor doesn't use a Bayer array. But Fuji's sensor is made by Sony.

Definitely not. Fuji X-Pro and X-T2 use the Fuji X-Trans III, while Sony a6300/a6500 uses a conventional Bayer array sensor.


Agree. The actual sensor itself may be the same substrate/silicon/CMOS whatever, but the color filter array, and processing are totally different.


I believe it is made by Toshiba. Google "HXM4-229393".


Their old cameras were, but the new cameras use Sony sensors.
