FUJI XT2 vs SONY A6500
1

Hello I'm a run and gun shooter doing 60% stills and 40% video. I'm gonna replace my Canon 600d soon and I'll be choosing one of these two great competitors. I've been really struggling to choose cause there are significant advantages and disadvantages on both sides . I'm gonna list some of these below and please HELP ME !!!! I'm really strugling to make a decision!!!!

FUJI XT2

amazing colours, film modes and jpegs: really the biggest point to choose Fuji. Is Sony so bad with colors ?

excellent lenses and zooms : really the zooms (16-55) will help a lot when run n gun shooting

very good 1080p video : Sony has got bad 1080p

ergonomics: nice Fuji advantage but I can live with less buttons

No ibis: really the sadest point for me . Fuji has got excellent primes but when shooting video they're useless if not in a tripod.

I won't be getting the battery grip!!!!!!!! : really a Fuji with a battery grip is close in size to a Nikon d810 ( or maybe bigger) and form factor is huge for me. Will the lack of the grip hurt ?

SONY A6500

form factor : I really don't wanna carry a lot

ibis: helps a ton with video . Again I don't wanna carry a lot and despite Fuji has got excellent primes I think without a tripod they're useless in video . Or not ?

120fps: again big thing for my videos

focusing system : don't know if it's sony's advantage cause Fuji is very good at it

touch screen: very nice for focus pulls in video

high iso: Sony and Fuji are close

rolling shutter: really bad especially when not in tripod . Or ibis eliminates that ?

overheating: don't think the a6500 overheats that much

sony system does not have a zoom lens: it's got crappy ones and the zoom lens helps a lot when run n gun shooting.

Plese help me make a decision!!!! Do you think the Fuji image quality compared with a lens like the 16-55 f2.8 is alone a big reason  to push you away from the numerous features of the a6500??
