Who's getting into a fight? Not me. BTW, I have no use for the current Fuji X cameras because of their EXR sensors. They produce raw data which is difficult to process compared to everyone else's sensors, which locks you into using their raw software ... which I have no interest in doing at all. (I also don't like their control layout and menus very much; had three Fuji digitals and will not buy another.) Their medium format film cameras are another story entirely.
The Sony NEX 7 and NEX 6 sensors work better, IMO, particularly the NEX 6 sensor for my purposes. I don't care about the NEX lens line up at all - I won't buy into yet-another-lens-line, and prefer my current M-bayonet lenses. I'm always considering the best body to use with these lenses for my purposes, that's all. The GXR remains a hot property with that goal in mind, but the NEX 6 looks appealing for its built-in EVF.
