The Fujifilm X-E1 was introduced 4 years earlier than the A6500 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the Fujifilm X-E1 grades against the A6500 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Fujifilm X-E1 and Sony Alpha a6500. The whole galleries are provided at Fujifilm X-E1 Gallery and Sony A6500 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry your camera frequently, you should take into account its weight and size.

Quite often, it's tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The photograph here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-E1 and A6500.

As you have seen, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony A6500 to produce greater detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
