I havent used the Sony but I do know the lens range is pretty crappy.
One thing I hate about Sony is that they seem to frefer to release a new/replacement model rather than fix a small camera fault that Fuji or Nikon would fix via firmware.
On these two critical items I would not buy Sony even though their camera specifications always look incredible.
IMHO The best small format system is the Olympus EMD5 as it has great specs, performance and lens range but unfortunately it is crippled by the use of the 4/3 sensor which I think is too small for professional and commercial work where you may be asked to make an A0 poster from a crop of an image. Such a shame!
I think ther will be an XPro2 or XE3 and possibly an XT2 released in February 2015 and hopefully this will have 24MP in a similarly small camera.
I need only the 140-400mm and possibly the 10-24mm to complete my lens range.
If the new Fujis that come in 2015 can match closely the AF performance of my Nikons then I am afraid to say that I will let most of my Nikon kit go. Nikon seem to have missed the mirrorless APS-C boat as well as the DSLR DX pro-body boat!!
Having a senior moment!
It was a LUMIX (Panasonic) camera not a Sony.
I didn't get a chance to try it but it had a Zeiss lens and the owner is really impressed with the IQ.
But whatever the image quality, it's viewfinder brightness, colour fidelity and lack of electronic disturbance was much better than the Fuji. That's what fuji need to improve next time.
