I want a mirrorless camera and have been seeing good reviews on both of these and having a hard time making the pick.  Can someone help me out?

In another 3 or 4 years there may be enough full frame E-mount lenses to make the A7 viable.  Right now I would get the Fuji.

There's not that many more fuji lenses. Plus with adapters the Sony can use many mounts. 

I've owned an xpro1 and now an a7. 

Both would be great but the fe mount is a more flexible mount.

True, if you like adapters.  My adapter experience has not been happy.  I do use them, but my preference is to stick with the native mount when possible.

I like native mount too, however my experience with the A7 and the Voigtlander VM-E Close Focus Adapter has be very good. Then again, I didn't cheap out with that adapter.

Anyway, I think it'll be much sooner than 3-4 years for Sony to catch up with Fuji in number of lenses available.

They're getting some nice zooms coming soon. I'm going to grab the 24-70 f/4 OS when it comes out next month.

Anyway, you can't go wrong with either of these. It comes down to if you want a full frame sensor or not.

On the flip side, we know that Sony does have the capital to fill out that roadmap.  Not in the same doghouse as Oly and Pentax.

Yeh Sony seem pretty keen to take on Canon/Nikon and they have all those Playstation sales to back up their camera department ;)
