Fujifilm X-T1 vs Sony a5000
The Fujifilm X-T1 and the Sony a5000 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a5000 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (20.1 against 16.3 MP) and more lenses made for it in this guide (403 against 164). On these specs the Fujifilm X-T1 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Fujifilm X or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
