Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t – Common Features
The following features are common to both the Sony a6000 and Fujifilm x100t.
1. Face Detection
Which has face detection: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t both possess the face detection feature. In digital photography, face detection is a feature of the camera that allows it to detect human faces so that the camera can set the focus and appropriate exposure for the shot automatically. The face detection feature is also known as the face priority autofocus.
This also helps automatically remove the unwanted red-eye effect that occurs when using flash photography to capture the image of a human.
In fact, the presence of face detection is one of the reasons the Sony a6000 and Fujifilm x100t are of relevance in portrait photography.
2. Auto Exposure Bracketing
Which has the auto-exposure bracketing feature: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The auto-exposure bracketing feature is common to both the Sony a6000 camera and the Fujifilm x100t. When we say auto exposure bracketing in photography, we are referring to the technique that involves the photographer taking varying shots of the same object (three shots is the standard) with a camera using exposures that slightly differ.
The camera takes several categorized shots automatically once it is set in this mode. This makes sure that the photographer does not have to manually change the camera exposure settings between each shot. By doing this, the photographer saves a lot of energy as having to change the exposure settings could be exhausting.
Bracketing is majorly used when the photographer is not sure about the right choice of exposure to use when shooting. This is a safe method that the photographer can use to get his desired image output when the lighting conditions become complex.
This feature helps to save time and battery life. It also reduces the stress of having to do an unlimited number of trials and errors. Plus, it’s also helpful in getting quality imaging in an environment where there is terrible lighting.
3. Maximum Shutter Speed
What is the maximum shutter speed of Sony a6000 and Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 camera and the Fujifilm x100t have a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second. The 1/4000 second shutter speed rating of the two cameras is the most typical speed that users will need to successfully freeze movements and fast-moving images.
The Sony a6000 and Fujifilm x100t both have a good maximum shutter speed. In digital photography, shutter speed refers to the length of time a camera shutter is left open, exposing the camera sensor itself to light. The shutter opens naturally when the shutter button is clicked to take a picture.
The amount of light that will reach the sensor is controlled by the aperture, shutter speed. So, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the exposure time will be. And the shorter the exposure time, the less the amount of light that enters the camera.
With the above-mentioned point, users should note that it is advisable to shoot with a shutter speed that is exactly or close to the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens. For instance, a user that wants to use a 100mm lens will have to shoot at within the range of 1/125.
When a photographer chooses to shoot at fast shutter speed, he or she must not forget to use a high ISO also. This will help to avoid having blurry pictures. The reason for this is that at high shutter speed, the light getting to the sensor is small and only a high ISO can help solve that issue.
This good shutter speed rating is a major reason why the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t are relevant in photography aspects that involve fast-moving objects such as sports, wildlife, and street photography.
4. Battery Life
How long do the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t batteries last?
The Sony a6000 has a battery life of 360 shots while the Fujifilm x100t has a battery life of 320 shots. These two battery life ratings are meager and small.

8. RAW Support
Which shoots in Raw format: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t can both shoot in RAW format. RAW is a file format that contains all the image information captured by the camera’s sensor along with the details of the settings, camera’s identification, and lens used. These are unprocessed data that are obtained from the image sensor of a digital camera. The RAW format is unique to each camera and to each brand also. It is not like the JPEG format that is a universal file format.
One of the advantages that the RAW format has over the JPEG format is the fact that the RAW format saves the files in their original/ uncompressed form. This ensures that the image does not get degraded.
Also, a major benefit of shooting RAW is the fact you will get a clearer image when you save your files in this format. JPEG files save edited images and this limits the extent to which one can edit them. This is not the case with the RAW format.

The Sony a6000 camera has a NEX 6 electronic viewfinder which photographers have come to love (some are of the opinion that it is flawless). There are lesser lags when talking about this viewfinder in particular. The viewfinder also has a very good refresh rate. Another thing about this viewfinder is that there is no production of grain in the pictures even in low light.
The Fujifilm x100t on the other hand which has a dual viewfinder has a better viewfinder resolution than that of Sony, this helps provide the photographer a larger viewing area. This coupled with the fact that the camera offers the value of two is the reason why we conclude that the Fujifilm x100t has a better viewfinder.
This feature is the reason why Fujifilm x100t is the better camera in terms of portrait and street photography.

With an in-built wireless connection, the use of wires, cables, or ports for the transfer of files is not needed. The presence of this feature in this entry-level camera is a welcome one by the two companies as it shows that they are ready to embrace technological advancement.
11. External Flash Shoe
Which has an external flash shoe feature: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t both have the external flash shoe. An external flash shoe serves as the medium through which the external flash is attached to the camera.
Cameras with the external flash feature possess a flash-to-subject that is superior to that of cameras that only possess the inbuilt flash. This quality of the external flash ensures that images located far away from the camera (within 10 meters distance) are properly lit to obtain clear pictures in a poorly lit environment.
The external flash doesn’t rely on the camera’s battery for its power. It comes with its own power source (battery). This ensures that the photographer can still achieve the standard number of shots for which the battery was made. This is not the case with an inbuilt flash.
An external flash can also cover a wider flash range which means they can be used to brighten the entire image irrespective of the type of lens you use with the camera.
External flash also has a flash head that is adjustable which gives the photographer room to get creative with shooting as this flash head tilts and changes the angle at which light is bounced around. This helps to achieve softer lighting, thereby producing higher quality pictures.

3. Mirrorless
Which is a mirrorless camera: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 camera is a mirrorless camera while the Fujifilm x100t is not. These types of cameras accept different lenses. They are generally simpler mechanically and are often smaller and lighter than the DSLR cameras.
These cameras also have the advantage of being quieter. The reason for this is that the movement of the mirror in DSLR cameras generates noise and since the mirror is absent in the mirrorless cameras, the noise is also eliminated.
Mirrorless cameras have also been proven to be better in the aspect of video coverage over the years. There are more mirrorless cameras that can capture ultra HD or 4k videos than there are for the DSLR category.
Another reason for this is that the DSLRs cannot use phase detection with the mirror facing upward while recording, this leaves the photographer with no other choice than to use the slower and less effective contrast-detection focus method. The usage of this method might cause blurs to appear in the video.
The mirrorless camera also helps save money in terms of lenses. This is so because the mirrorless cameras are mostly compatible with old lenses.
4. Low ISO
Which has a low ISO: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 camera has a lowlight ISO rating of 1347 while the Fujifilm x100t has the auto-ISO feature that automatically balances the amount of light for different exposure levels.
The low light ISO is a feature that separates the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t. Recall that ISO is a measure of the sensitivity of the sensor of a camera to light. We would love to point out that shooting at an appropriate low ISO helps to reduce the noise in the images captured.
In the case of the low ISO, we are concerned with the type that darkens a photo. The Sony a6000 has this feature while the Fujifilm x100t camera does not have this feature. Low light ISO is of value in areas where there is excessive exposure to light.
With this feature, you are assured of a quality image because the tonal reproduction and colors will be of very high quality. This also helps you capture pictures in landscape format.
Low light ISO comes in handy in the sports aspect of photography. This is further proven by the relevance of the two cameras is the aspect of sports photography.

Which has the Near Field Communication connection: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Near Field Communication connection feature is present in the Sony a6000 but absent in the Fujifilm x100t.
The Near Field Communication connection is a type of connection that uses magnetic field induction to achieve communication between devices when they are within touching distance.
The Near Field Communication (NFC) connection allows two devices to connect wirelessly so that the two devices can share data with each other. This mode is designed to work through proximity sensing.
The NFC connection can be seen as an alternative to the inbuilt wireless connection on cameras that do not have the in-built wireless feature.
The Sony a6000 that has the inbuilt wireless feature actually has this feature as some sort of luxury. It gives the user some form of flexibility in terms of file transfer.
This type of file transfer mode has some limitations though. The fact that the NFC connection is a short-range form of connection is one while the slow speed mode of this connection type can also be seen as a drawback by people who are used to using fast internet for transfer.
8. Maximum ISO
The difference in maximum ISO rating of the two cameras is also a feature that separates the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t. ISOs are used to measure the sensitivity of the image sensor in photography. This is the same for digital and film photography.
High ISOs come in handy when photographers are faced with the challenge of having to shoot in lowly lit areas or areas where light exposure is low.
The higher the ISO rating, the higher the shutter speed at which the photographer can shoot. High ISO rating allows more light to get to the image sensor. This helps the photographer obtain finer grain in the shots.
The Sony a6000 has an ISO rating of 25600 while the Fujifilm x100t camera only has an ISO rating of 6400. The rating of the Sony a6000 is very impressive for a camera at its price while the same cannot be said of the Fujifilm x100t.

The superiority of the Sony a6000 in this aspect of photography is the reason why the camera is better than the Fujifilm x100t in the aspect of photography that requires the usage of fast shutter speeds such as sports and wildlife photography.
9. Auto ISO
Another feature that separates the two cameras from one another is the auto ISO feature. In digital photography, auto ISO is a feature that allows the camera to automatically pick an ISO for each shot. This setting is most useful when shooting in shutter priority mode.
Auto ISO can be very useful in photography as it helps regulate the brightness of an image. This helps you as a user concentrate more on other aspects such as movement freezing, depth of field, and achievement of sharp focus. It is the ideal helper.
Knowing fully well that a photographic exposure is dependent upon the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, we must consider this topic critically. This setting helps you to automate the adjustment of the ISO setting to obtain the correct exposure for the different lighting conditions in which the photographer wishes to shoot.
Auto ISO comes in handy in shutter speed mode as it helps automatically regulate the ISO to the extent with which adequate exposure will be obtained. This helps guarantee image quality.
This feature is present in the Fujifilm x100t while it is absent in the Sony a6000 camera.
10. Articulating Screen
Which has a tilting screen: Sony a6000 vs Fujifilm x100t?
The Sony a6000 camera has a tilting screen the Fujifilm x100t’s screen is fixed. The major advantage that the tilting screen has over the fixed screen is that it allows photographers to shoot in difficult positions such as shooting around corners at angles that are unconventional.
These positions are more of a challenge to anyone using the Fujifilm x100t because of its fixed screen. They are mostly left with no option than to shoot at inconvenient postures such as having to lay on the floor or having to kneel.
Tilting screens do not only come handy in handheld photography, they can also be a bonus or an added advantage when using a tripod stand.
11. Autofocus points
Another major difference between the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm x100t is the number of autofocus points present in the two cameras.
