Just a few pointers:
The fuji XT4 should be of similar size to the A7III. And the sony a6600 has a wider range of zoom lenses than the fuji system. You have the superb 18-135mm, you have the tamron 28-75mm f2.8 and the new tamron 70-180mm 2.8. You have sigmas support too for general purpose lenses. On the fuji system you really only have the one 16-55mm 2.8, and if you want longer you have the slow 55-200mm or the super bulky 50-140 2.8.
Thay said, i love fuji and I think you'd be better served - you body wise - with any XT camera.
Appreciate the comments Miguel!
It's unfortunate the XT4 is similar size/bulk as the A7III - the 6600 is a joy to hold - but other ergonomics are bad in general with the body.
I know the tamron 28-75 is a good lens, but it doesn't make sense to me on APS-C, that's an equivalent 42-112 which is a very odd FL and not wide at all.
The Fuji 100-400 is sure cheaper than the Sony 100-400!
I also wanted to mention, reading your initial post mentioning bulk of A7 series, that the X-T series cameras are pretty large relative to e.g. X-E3 or X-T30.
In the end I feel like I probably should have gone with a more compact series fuji camera, I don't quite 'get' the grip on my X-T2, it's kind of painful on my fingernails in normal hand hold grips. it's weird it never quite feels 'right', while my simple flat x100s feels comfortable. i dunno, i noticed this the first time I picked one up but was too enamored with buttons and dials, I can admit that now. still is fun but, I can't deny the X-T30 would make a lot more sense for me.
it's also big in a way that makes me self conscious I don't need this photographic firepower going on walks with my family
