For street, vacations, family, no professional use, i think the XA7 it's a great camera, the perfect second camera for anyone who have other bigger Fuji camera
Thx for your efforts. Nowadays more and more photographers goes to the direction of a hybrid shooter. So, it would be nice, if you introduce a column with the crop factor with the highest video resolution, because this is for many an essential information to choose a camera. For example: In my case, the Nikon Z5 is all I need, if I switch one day to mirrorless, but maybe I would love to shoot one day 4k videos. But in the Z5 is a crop factor of 1,7, so it's 4k capability is useless, if you are not a sports or wildlife shooter. Or if you have not enough money to buy extremely wide angle lenses. So the Z6 would be better to my needs. 4k without crop factor. The X-H1 is a great pick. Underrated and cheap, but hyped at youtube the last months and years. Most DSLRs users who thinks about a change to the mirrorless systems are focused to the AF system with face tracking, eye tracking, and so on. Maybe the older fuji are not a great step upwards in that case. Maybe some has good firmware updates, to improve some features, as of the cheaper Nikon Z cameras, I don't know. So, I would add the hybrid shooter focused X-S10, because after the newer X-S20 the price dropped more and more the next months, its lighter and smaller than the X-H1, better image stabilisation, better battery, better autofocus, better sensor, and so on. The extra dollars are in my opinion worth it, because for the hybrid shooter or for the mirrorless system changer, it's enough improvement to the dslr weaknesses (if you haven't a flagship DSLR). I mean, why change the system to mirrorless? Top reasons are mostly: Weight and size of the system (body and lenses). Some would like to adapt cheap vintage lenses and need focus peaking as a help for manual lenses. Wysiwyg in the EVF. Mirrorless often has better video capabilities in the same price range. Autofocus system with often better tracking in photo and video. And so on. If I buy a too old mirrorless camera, I became less of the advantages of the mirrorless system and maybe it's better to stay another two or three years in the DSLR system, to wait the drop of the prices.
Thanks for commenting! That's actually a great summary of the DSLR vs. mirrorless thought process. I agree crop factor for 4K is important information, I will try to include more video specs in general for future comparisons because lots of people want their camera to be a hybrid photo/video setup. A new/used/refurbished Z5 is (in my opinion) the best value in the Nikon Z lineup if you can live with the limitations (4.5 fps, crop in 4K, Expeed 6)

Never had a chance to try one, but looks like a good one if you can live without the EVF!

@@lensvana could you add to the spreadsheet the crop factor?
