Unless your son finds the Fuji attractive for reasons of his own - buy the Sony. Sony’s are becoming the new ”main stream” camera system In the mirrorless segment. Specs-wise, the Sony is nominally numerically better, though in real world photography this is, for the most part, irrelevant.

Fuji, at the moment, remains more or less a niche camera for those who understand and appreciate the manual/external controls philosophy.

Have you talked to your son about what he wants? The “better camera” if it isn’t the one he would choose, is still the wrong camera. Very personal decisions.

Yeah don't buy stuff like this for someone else.  Let the user do the research and figure out what they need for today's use and for the near future.  Maybe your son doesn't even want neither of these two systems.

Best of luck,
Rand
