First of all I'll post this article as a fairly succinct summary of the best current mirrorless cameras.

As JadedWriter mentioned, I do shoot Fuji, I can chime in on Fuji, but I have no real experience with a Sony body so it would be unfair for me to compare them.
The moment I held the XT3 in my hands, it was magic. I mean I did learn on film cameras, so there was that familiarity to the older Yashika or Nikon bodies that I learned with. But there's something to be said about split second decision making and switching settings on the fly and taking photos. Or even pre-judging the exposure and taking photos. And the film simulation modes are just wonderful, you can't really touch them. They are great. I don't do video, so I can't weigh in there, but for street and travel, the XT3 is probably the best camera out there. And since it's APS-C, it's also great for sports and wildlife, as you can use the crop factor to your advantage. The AF is very good, and it's very fast. And the focus peaking is very good so you can use vintage manual lenses quite well.
I travel a lot, and I like to mix in with people, drink, get involved with things. I don't wanna worry about equipment. I just wanna take photos. The XT3 allows me to do that.
So some diverse mix of shots:
