Sony α5x00 (Upper-entry APS-C) Mirrorless Cameras (2014) vs Fujifilm GFX Cameras (2017)

The Sony α5100 (2014) has done great in various roundups conducted by reliable and unbiased sources that do their own testing, like shotkit.com, TrustedReviews, and Reviewed - it earned the "TOP RATED" title from shotkit.com, "Ranked 1 out of 11" from TrustedReviews, and "Ranked 3 out of 5" from Reviewed.

Moving on to the Fujifilm GFX 50S (2017): it was unable to reach the very top of any roundups from sources that conduct reliable and unbiased testing. Nonetheless, it still managed to impress reviewers from a number of such sites, like camerajabber.com, Digital Camera World, Photography Blog, TrustedReviews, Techradar, Digital Photography Review, and PCmag, enough for them to include them on those lists.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Sony α5100 (2014) vs. Fujifilm GFX 50S (2017) comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
