Well Fuji’s 16MP sensors captures as much details as many cameras with resolutions even above 20MP.
A clean detailed 16MP image is better than a 22MP nosier one, with no more, or almost no more details.
Fujis sensors are good even with higer ISO, competing even with some full frame sensors.
So still today, with only so many super high resolution cameras, 16MP that is almost equivalent to 24megapixels (sometimes beting them in higher ISO performance), is not a dissadvantage.
But I do get that it’s nice to zoom in on details in pictures, so pixels are always nice, as long as they contain detail. But few beat Fuji when it comes to details.
What you prefer is up to you. But generally I think Fuji has more dedicated controls, and thus feels more like analog cameras in handling.
But neither Sony nor Fuji has good third party lens support, unfortunately.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
