Sad but I have to let go NX30 system. How about an alternative?

Thanks all for your kind comments.

Update:

I been joined to Facebook groups of several cameras brands, hoping see the resulting images taken by real users.

I've found this:

Sony a6500 users: Talks a lot. Some people are boastful. Few pics and fewer good ones. Lots of questions, and insults from time to time. Very informative about the use of sigma lenses. I learned that video kinda sucks, and IBIS is good but not much used.

Fujifilm X-T users: Great show of very nice pics. People are a little more kindle. People shows pics of their gear, they really love their gear. Also found some messages that says Fujifilm cameras get blocked or freezed. Thats not a good sign. Some users says some lenses are kinda soft, but some other pics area great. I'm dunno. I think "Fujifilm changed my photography foreva..." it's a little exaggerated phrase, but seems to be quoted often.

Canon M50/M5 users: A lot of beginners. It seems that much people that wants to become a photog chooses Canon brand. Some nice pics. The native M mount lens seems to be not-so-good, more users use their previous canon glasses with the adapter. Lots of questions about the right lens for certain situations.

Pentax K1 users: Wow. What kind of great pics!. Very kind people. They uses a lot of vintage lenses, the pics looks nice. Pentax K1 by far, the best pics I'd see in all groups, may be due to more experienced photographers (I think); well, the camera es amazing also. Many astro pics, also portraits and landscape are superb. Some pics of their gear, people love gear.

Samsung users: Some nice pics. It's noted that 'pro' photographers do not choose Samsung brand, unfairly I think. People are nice. Some posts of people selling out their gear, more often than in other groups.

This, and some lectures from web, YT, etc... result in the finalist in this "Camera's got talent" contest:

-Pentax K1, discarded. Its a Full frame DSLR big and heavy. Perhaps at another time...

-Sony a6500. It have some compromises like bad video (what kind of rolling shutter have!) and price, but it have IBIS, great AF, and weather sealing.

-FujiFilm X-T**. Whell, I would like to have one in my hands to try it out and see if all those things users talk about are true. Cheaper than Sony. No IBIS. No sure about what model choose yet, X-T20, X-E30, X-T30. Depends of second-hand market offer and price.

All other aspects are not mentioned here because I think are well implemented in both cameras, like lenses and pic quality.

I would like to have your comments.

Priority Order:
1. Put major effort and time time writing down your personal use-cases.
2. Using all above new-found (exceptional ) knowledge overlay your use-case list to drive further research.
3. Review new research result to determine if use-case overlay removed much noise, thus exposing the Systems(s) that meet your needs.

Stay tuned at this frequency and see what happens.

Will do.

Thanks for reading.
