100% decided to try a Sony a6500

Well actually that might not be true, unless dxo got something wrong here, they never tested the 90 2.8 macro on the new a6500, only nex7 and older 20mp a5000. How would you explain then dxo, experts in all things sharpness, allegedly, can have a 20mp sensor out-resolve your perceptible limits? I think the Sony FE and e lens all do a great job and will be comparable to Fuji on xtrans in reality.

It looks like you desperately try to put some things together that don't really fit, just to tell yourself, that you are doing the right thing.

That's fine, because being happy is the most important thing (as long as you are not shooting professionally). But for me it's a waste of time. You have already made up your mind and, as I said, try to proof to yourself that it's a great idea, there is no point in discussing.

Yo Fuji are so stupid, they thought ibis was a sort of medical condition!

Sort of confirms this as a brand bashing post. Have pity on us poor creatures suffering from Sony fatigue having to endure the endless talk up of Sony kit off Sony forums.

You are 100% sure so just go for it.

nope, I just looked at published facts, its contrary to your belief that's all, it appears Sony lens are up to the mark.

I suppose it is nice to see someone with an interest in Sony aps-c considering Sony certainly have no interest in it.

Given their sensor domination the aps-c range is kept going by putting the latest sensor and processing gizmos in the same old box.

Either go straight in to Sony full frame or stay with Fuji. Putting your money in to Sony aps-c is like buying a long term licence to fish in a stagnant pond.
Click to expand...
Not really, why would you say that! the interchangeability between the 2 systems is incredibly flexible, more so than aps-c and fuji gfx lets say!!
Click to expand...
because lenses are designed for one sensor size and that's where they perform the best. Reading your posts it seems, you are affected by severe GAS. You also seem to just compare some number and miss the big picture behind it.

Look at the new 100-400 Sony, technically its far superior to Fuji,
Click to expand...
is it? I mean it should, it costs a lot more than the Fuji, especially when you add the 1.4x teleconverter (but I don't see where there would be a technical superiority)
Advent1sam said:
weighs the same, actaully a tiny bit smaller in actual dimensions and works on a6500 and a7 series.
Click to expand...
Yes. It's designed as a 100-400mm on full frame. It's not optimized for the APS-C and thus probably not better than the Fuji (I suspect it to be a bit worse on the APS-Cs)
Advent1sam said:
Similarly lots of the fe lens are light and fast and work for both systems, incl. the new fe 85 1.8 and 90 2.8 macro, still waiting for Fuji option :(
Click to expand...
And you want to use those lenses on an APS-C body? Oh boy
Click to expand...
They are the same as on Fuji, Sony fe 1.8 is smaller than Fuji 90 2, it is faster, has 5 axis ibis in-body too so hand-held will be much more comfortable. The 90 mm macro is larger than the 90 f2, but smaller than 50-140 2.8. I would expect the new 80mm macro to be similar to the 90mm sony 2.8 if it has OIS.

Therefore, yes, on an aps-c, its the same as Fuji, despite for FF too. The new a6500 grip is deeper too than Fuji.

In the video Fuji aint even close, sorry, x-t2 isnt bad but no 1080 120fps and certainly no touch focus on the x-t2 either.
Click to expand...
I'd suggest a RX100 for that task, the 1080p 120fps of the A6500 isn't really good enough, if you want 1080p output of your project.
Or go straight to the GH5. A college of mine just did that (coming from Blackmagic). 4:2:2 10bit is nice for grading (while not up to the RAW of the BM, he only laughs about the 4:2:0 8bit you get from both Fuji and Sony ;) )
All in all it seems you will never be happy with any system. But complaining about the Fuji lens lineup and aiming for Sony APS-C, which introduced it's last new lens in 2013, makes me laugh. A lot.

See above.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you will buy and enjoy it (at least at the beginning ;) )

OK, thanks.

Sony's hasn't seemed committed to APS-C for some time now. There are a few select lenses, but generally the collection isn't exemplary. So you go to FE lenses and that's going to bring your sensor down. What you get with an FE lens generally is lower resolution because it's not made for APSC. So in the end, more money, larger lenses, lower resolution.

OP just has a few more MILC systems to go through before he goes full circle and writes the inevitable "Micro 4/3 outresolves Medium Format" post.

I give it a year.

Funny you should say that, I have some very interesting results of a6500 vs xt2 using the imaging resources samples with the fabrics etc!

Good bye for now🙃

I went from a sony a5000 w/ 20/2.8 lens to the Fuji x70. The x70 is faster to focus, has the leaf shutter, super fill flash and great jpeg colors out of camera. Not sure how the a6500 works. Let me know if you get great jpeg colors out of camera with the new Sony.
