I will probably ask the question that has been asked many times before, but I would really appreciate the advice, before committing myself.
Two new cameras, both similar in concept, sensor size, dimensions and popularity. Yet X-T1 with kit lens is double the price of A6000 with it's kit lens. Can it be twice as good?
I heard lots of good about Fuji lenses, especially about 18-55mm kit. Yet, A6000 with 16-70mm Zeiss lens is exactly the same price as X-T1 with kit lens, but then I lose out on Fuji's build/weather sealing/fuji colors/lens lineup/viewfinder. If one is prepared to spend this much money, would Sony-Zeiss combination be better, compared to Fuji kit?
My requirements are reasonably straightforward (I think). I want something compact and portable (so no FF or DSLR). IQ is important, so no m43 or smaller sensors. Fast AF is nice, but not critical as I do not shoot sports/action/toddlers photography. I do tend to like manual controls, so I would probably hate Sony's "Power zoom" kit lens. I must admit, Fuji's dials look attractive, although I didn't have a chance to actually try to use one
Sturdy build and quality 'feel' is also quite important
I do not have any lenses I can reuse, so this is not a factor
Thank you
