The Sony will most likely have better AF and slightly better DR but unless something dramatically has changed Sony cameras colours and especially skin tones will be a pain in the neck. I have used a A7R. Brilliant resolution and DR but the colours and skin tones made me sell it after a very short time. I don't want to spend time to fix images in post.

I shot with a Sony APS-C for about 12 months a few years ago and I was actually impressed at how good and natural the skin tones looked, so I can't say anything bad about sony's skin tones. I actually thought that theirs was better than Nikon's. It is possible that you were shooting in a completely different environment than mine and had problems with the skin tones. Maybe I missed that.

No offence but although Fuji's skin tones and over all color is still one of my favorites, I feel that something has changed with the latest sensors and Fuji's tones are NOT the same and as easy and fast to process as previous models. That's just my personal humble opinion.

Sony cameras are "data sheet heroes" in real life they are awkward to handle and create a lot of post processing work.

That comment might be harsh or even unfair but it's why I sold the Sony and kept Fuji.

True. Older Fuji’s were tailor made for portraits with low contrast and somehow muted colors. The newer Fuji’s have stronger colors and look more contrasts for me. But since I’m always add color and contrast I have no problem with that. Less pp now.
