I believe that You better need to check the price once again.. Fuji is much cheaper than sony !!!

Please stop including 'popularity' in your scoring pattern . That is relative and may not be a clear indicator of which is the better of the two cameras. From what I see here , the Fuji is better than Sony though your scores say otherwise
