A7iii is very good spec wise, but I will pass (easily) this generation too, and a6xxx ia not even close. Rather keep my NX500.

Lol really? The A73 is a fantastic camera and best overall Fullframe camera if you don't need more MP. But I guess after reading your next comment, I shouldn't be surprised at your "evaluation".

I own an A73.

Although “overall” is a fair statement and it is a good value, the colors out of the Sony still are not to the quality of Fuji and Samsung.

Since the emotional content of the picture is in the subject and composition not necessarily the color, there is a good argument for using it for most things.  But as much as I dislike Samsung for closing down the camera division without doing a Kyocera-like goodwill gesture, the Samsung colors were very good.

The pigments in the Bayer filter have a lot of difference and impact on colors and this is not changeable in post through traditional Lightroom or Capture One sliders.  It is the color discrimination.

The real good mirrorless cameras are coming, and they are from the old players, Canon and Nikon. BUT, they aren't out yet,

So Sony has some amazing cameras on the market that are proven and having lots of pros changing to them yet you somehow want to downplay how good they are.

On the other hand you already claim the "real good ones" are coming out by Nikon and canon even though you have seen NOTHING to tell you how good or bad those cameras are going to be?!!!

Canon has had mirrorless camera for years.  They just charge a ridiculous amount and call it the Cinema EOS line.  Canon colors have proven quality.

Nikon 1 had some exotic lenses (32/1.2 and 70-300/4-5.6).  In head to head comparisons, the J5 plus one of these lenses beat anything you got from a RX100 or RX10 in raw image quality (not necessarily ergonomics).

I really like the Fuji line (which uses a Sony sensor but Fuji pigments for the CFA and an XTrans layout).

The A7III, aside from low light performance is about on par with the NX1 in terms of video capabilities. It's also 3x the cost. The A7III makes a loooot of sense, especially for wedding shooters. But it's not the end all solution for a number of other professionals and pro-sumers alike.

^^^^ This.  NX1 is about a stop worse than the XH1 which is about a stop worse than the A7 III.  So it depends which ISO you are shooting at.  At low ISO, NX1 is probably the best among the three as long as your focal length is covered by the S lenses.
