100% decided to try a Sony a6500

Sony is working really well for Bob Krist, Brian Smith and many others! All the mfg systems today are excellent - not a dog in the bunch. And Brian Smith's primary business is people/portrait stuff (go figure with such "terrible color" ;-). IQ just like handling is totally subjective and a matter of personal preference.

Aside from my X-T1, I have an EM-1 and a Sony a58, and really love the a58's ooc jpeg colors almost as much as those from my X-T1. As I said, all are great and all fit a niche for their happy users.

All the best!

Bob
 
Still think some fujipeople here are in denial there is a (often) a problem.
Do you even have Fuji gear (in the present)?
No, I have 0 tolerance for unreliable equipment.
Now that would be a contradiction in terms. Fuji is very reliable.
As much as I loved the classic interface (like my old Leicas) the so-called autofocus did not perform: see someone's thread blurry OOF picures

Your gear list suggests that you may not have enough experience with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras to make an accurate judgment.

I'm pretty sure they figured that one out and it wasn't the camera's fault. I don't know which Fujis you had, but mine has been very good a nailing focus when it says it has.

Not sure why he's stil here in the Fuji forums if all he does is saying the brand was unreliable (to him!). :)

So, you just like hanging around the forum sharing [bad] memories and taking a potshot here and there, then? A somewhat less tolerant Mod might just characterize that as a bit of trolling, particularly since you currently don't own any Fuji gear.

Try backing your statements with facts, examples, experiences, etc. or else these sorts of posts may be regarded as trolling and treated as such.

Sorry, but I can nail distance and exposure without a lightmeter or measuring tape. What say you? Hello? Do even know what that means?

Based on your post history you seem to have issues with autofocus on a lot of cameras, even beginner cameras. Sometimes problems with autofocus systems can exist outside the camera.

I do want to understand what he's referring to. Fuji XT2 and XP2 are quite good at focusing. No question they are as reliable as my Nikon or Sony A7 ever were. So he's just trying to raise hackles I think. Perhaps not really a serious poster.

You seem to be blissfully unaware of many posts here discussing Fuji focussing issues. Let me try to make it simple for you to understand:

You buy your typical big gas guzzling truck to drive 1km to do your groceries. The salesman says it has an automatic gearshift. You drive it and , incredibly, stays in first gear during the whole trip. You bring it back to the dealer. Angry because it is supposed to be an automatic. Then people tell you, yes but be patient, you have to point it in the right direction, you just don't know how to drive. It will shift eventually. These trucks always work. Never a problem. And you are left with a non-shifting automatic truck.

Now, if it won't shift, I don't mind a manual gearbox. i can handle it. Just don't claim it's automatic if it ain't.

I'm aware that I've had these three cameras and my Fuji has been as reliable at focus as anything I've owned. I also know that you're basing your opinion on nothing credible. How many posts have there been about unreliable focusing and how many to the contrary? Do you have data to compare with other systems? Once you can produce objective data to that effect, you're only spouting here say. Forum posts add up to nothing if you don't read them thoroughly, tabulate and compare to the rest of the population in all cameras. IE, there is nothing empirical about forum posts unless you use them empirically.

Well i im still not seeing AF issues with my xt20 and 27mm. i do have the 18-55 but not used that much recently, typically i'll use my GR and this 27mm with a 50 or longer in my bag. I have other frustrations with the xt20 but AF is currently not one of them.

Never been a problem x-t20 or x-t2 with the 27mm or the 16-55mm for me. The 18-55mm misses 10-15% of the time. When the 18-55mm misses it looks the same as the 35f2 at min focus distance wide open.

Ahem, please read the DPR review of the X-A3. The shot of the statues where focus was on the background. Automatic Unfocus I would call that. Pretty much also sums up my experience withe X-T20. Don't get me wrong, the X-T20 on paper looks like a dream camera to an old school photographer like me.

You really wanna compare the X-A3 with the X-T20? lol

Look at his posting history. He has problems focusing point and shoot cameras. In fact he has had issues focusing about all the cameras he owns. At some point the issue is t with the gear and is behind the viewfinder.

Guy also rated the X-T20 1 star (for example). C'mon, that's BS. You might not like it but it doesn't mean it sucks like that.
