Yes Im looking for a better image quality , the kit len IQ sometimes make me painful when review my shooting images also in post-processing.

Sony has only 2 zoom lens for crop sensor 18-105 + 16-70 , both are too expesive to me so i guest i could get a used one to save some moneys.

Only thing I dislike about sony a6000 is ergonomics. The camera is fast but a controlling make me slow sometimes.

But when I had research about XT1 I fingureout that XT1 doesn't have AA filter it make an sharper image and the XF18-55 is sharper and larger apeture than sony zoom lens ?

If you're not happy with your images, you should look into improving the photographer not the camera. The a6000 has outstanding image quality for APS-C,

It does but not with the crappy 16-50mm lens. Having a great sensor means nothing when that piece of plastic thrash ruins it.

even better than the X-T1 (and this is coming from an X-T1 owner)

Debateable. The A6000 has a good sensor but it lacks 14-bit lossless raw.

The XT-1 at it's core has an older sensor but the processing is better. It's a wash really but Fuji has better lenses for Apsc.

You're basically exchanging one mirrorless aps-c /kit lens for another a slightly older aps-c mirrorless/kit lens (x-t1). Not much difference between the two.

The only reason you would consider an X-T1 is if you're going the prime lens route because Fuji primes are some of the best aps-c prime lens. Then I suspect you'll see a difference.

Not just the primes,

The Sony 55-210mm is as bad as the 16-50mm

Fujifilm's XF 55-200mm is miles better. Then we have the best EVF money can buy vs a low res small EVF that was actually a downgrade from the NEX-6.

There are plenty of reasons to switch to Fuji. Also to remain with Sony,

After all the XT-1 AF tracking is kinda useable at times but nowhere near what Sony pulled off with the A6300.

Then there is video to consider.
