I would say there are a few advantages tilting towards Sony.

1) You mentioned wedding and street photography. Sony A7.3 has excellent low light capture. In churches and at night in the street, the lower noise can be very useful. Higher DR is also great for those, eg. the groom is wearing black suit and bride a white gown. Street scenes in the day can have very huge contrast scene.

2) The 24-105mm from Sony has OSS, and together combo with IBIS, the handholdability is amazing.

3) Sony A7.3 has dual sensor readout. At ISO640 the noise is like ISO100 (native ISO). So you gain shutter speed and retain DR, plus details. Useful in dim situations (churches, restaurants recept, night streets, etc). I don't know if Fuji H1 has dual readout or not though.

I can only think of the H1 having a better seal vs Sony as an advantage. That's it. For the size, the weight and price of the H1+16-55mm, I'll lean towards the Sony more.

Just my 2c.
