The XT4 is the king of APSC at the moment with many class leading camera features, especially on the video front. If you 1) Love retro dials, 2) don't mind a larger camera, 3) love shooting with primes, and 4) shoot alot of videos, then I would advocate changing. That said, A6600 is no slough and is capable of producing nice photos/videos.

Personally, I switched from XT20 to A7iii because 1) I do not like the zoom lenses in Fuji collection, 2) I do not like the small grip on Fuji cameras, 3) the AF on XT20 was subpar, and 4) I do not like using dials. In the past, full frame Sony lenses have been really big and expensive compared to Fuji. However, that has changed with the release of many fantastic offerings from Tamron and Sigma that are wonderful and more reasonably priced.

If you compare XT4+ 16-55f2.8 vs A7iii+tamron 28-75f2.8, the price/size difference is really minor. Just my 2cents.

Agree. But if you look at the A6xxx it is alot smaller. I already have the a7r2, I'm looking at a xt30 or e3 sized setup. From what I can see the zooms are on a par for apsc, but fuji has the long range covered more than Sony though the 70-350 has helped close the gap.

I'm tempted to see if a e4 is released as the e3 is probably my favourite body in the fuji range followed by the xt30, if I'm looking at T4 size, I might as well just bring my A7r2 along.
