That's clear.

Many great choices now - a decision to get an A6000 or GX7 is more than just the camera.  There's an array of lenses and high performing bodies from each manufacturer at this point. You can go as small or large as you want. As much or little as you want to spend.

Just don't let people tell you there are more or better lenses in this camp or not - there's not - 40 to 50+ native lenses and counting for Sony and m43. A bit less for Fuji, but all of their lenses are stunning, unlike m43 and Sony, which have some slower ones, some mushy ones, some bad apples. It depends on your preferences at this point.

Honestly, I can pick a few lenses in each that make them compelling for me, and the rest are meaningless. Telephoto, video, portrait, low light, size, price, weight, it's all preference.

Final point of emphasis, as others have noted, if you end up with the A6000, be aware that you might need to leave an upgrade path to their FF sensor one day. And if you end up with GX7 - be aware that their low light lens selection is weaker compared to both Fuji and Sony - f1.7/8 on m43 is not the same.

That's my three cents.

Good luck with your decision.
