Canom M50 or Fuji XT100

1> Kit lens - I will be using the kit lens primarily at least for the time being. I understand the fuji lens is optically superior. Is the difference perceptible easily? I have heard/read that the Fuji 15-45 kit lens is difficult or frustrating to operate due to the power zoom. Can you please share your experience?

You'll have to get used to it. I had no particular problems with it, but my previous camera was a compact with a powered zoom so it didn't make any difference for me. You can set-up the focus dial to behave as a slower, gentler zoom. In any case, it won't be as fast as a manually activated one such as in the XC 16-55 or any other Fuji zoom lens.

2> How bad is the AF on the XT100? Does it take time to lock the AF or struggle while tracking when using AF continuous? Is it a botheration for still subjects also? Which autofocus modes/options to use in the XT100 to get the best AF performance. As I said, I don't do much action photography but I need a fast and reliable autofocus system for objects or portraits.

DP Review TV tested the X-T100 , you should check the video out. They also made a comparison with the Canon M50 and the Sony Alpha 6000 , where I remember the continuous AF was indeed flagged as a serious issue.

3> About the user interface on the XT100, again how frustrating is it to use? I guess the touchscreen has limited functionality compared to the M50. May be I can customize the dials to suit my needs. Thoughts?So, if you consider both to be priced similarly, what would be the choice given my requirements.

No idea, I haven't used an X-T100. What I know after viewing far too much camera review videos is that Fuji menus tend to be very similar between their cameras, so I guess the X-T100 problem would be that it feels unresponsive or slow.
