The a6500 has a proprietary USB/Multi-Port connection. The X-T2 has a USB 3.0 port, an additional 2.5mm remote input and a Flash Sync socket on the front of the camera. The dual SD slot of the Fuji camera allows for a couple of options that are obviously not available on the a6500: back-up to the second card, and the separation of JPG and RAW files or stills/movies onto two different cards.Ĭoncerning the connection options, we find a 3.5mm Mic input and a Micro HDMI Type D output (with clean 4:2:2 8-bit signal) on both cameras. The way you access the memory compartment also differs: it is at the bottom on the Sony (beside the battery) and on the side of the X-T2 inside a dedicated SD compartment.

There are official landscape and vertical grips available for the X-T2 while for the Sony camera, you must rely on third-party accessories. I have used thumb rests from Lensmate with both bodies and I always find them a nice complement if you don’t need the hot-shoe for other accessories. The grip of the X-T2 is taller (because the camera is taller) but the one found on the a6500 is more prominent which makes it a little more comfortable with larger lenses.
The a6500 feels more compact overall thanks to its smaller viewfinder positioned on the left and its modern rangefinder design. The Fujifilm camera is slightly larger and definitely taller than the Sony, a characteristic also emphasised by the fake pentaprism at the centre that houses the viewfinder. When it comes to weight, there is only a 54g difference in favour of the lighter Sony model. Check price for the Sony a6500 on B&H Photo.Ĭheck price for the Fujifilm X-T2 on B&H Photo. The X-T2 is available in two colours: graphite silver or black, unlike the a6500 which can only be found in black. The X-T2 offers more complete weather-sealing because it is freeze-proof down to -10☌. I have used both in rainy conditions and didn’t notice anything unusual. Let’s start with the build quality: they both feel robust, well-made and are weather-sealed against dust and moisture.

Well, then let’s find out more about two of the most attractive mirrorless cameras on the market today!Įthics statement: We purchased the a6500 and X-T2 for review and comparison purposes. The a6500 and X-T2 are no different, yet their performance when it comes to autofocus and image quality is very similar. Rumours (via FujiRumors) about a high-end APS-C model from Fujifilm abound, while with Sony – well, with Sony we can’t never be sure of anything, can’t we? But future products, news and rumours aside, I am sure that the X-T2 and a6500 will remain near the top of the food chain for quite some time to come.Ĭomparing Sony and Fujifilm products is always interesting because the two brands have opposite approaches to design and functionality. I was tempted to begin this comparison by calling it “the ultimate mirrorless APS-C camera battle” but there is an expiry date on the validity of such a statement in this dynamic market.
