Thoughts on Fuji X-E3 VS Sony A7 VS Sony A7 II?
So I've recently been doing some research into Fuji vs Sony, as that's what I've narrowed it down to. I know that this might not be the best idea, to narrow down by brand but I'm impressed by Fuji image quality, the X-E3 in particular, as well as the Sony A7 series. http://compelledblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/cameras-...
I think both prices are very high, but if I go for the X-E3, then want to get the Fuji 56mm f/1.2, which is still VERY expensive in my opinion, don't you think? I think about this lens because of it's clarity but have also thought of the Rokinon 50 f/1.2. The reason I'm going into this territory is because I want to create the Brenizer method photography and I want to use this method for landscapes, and while a wide angle should be used for landscapes, a wide angle cannot achieve such low depth of field as a 50mm or greater. I think that the shallow DOF effect used by PS is neat but is rather fake compared to what you could achieve with the proper lens. I just wish they has an affordable Tilt/Shift lens then I would add that to the X-E3. Now The A7 series is FF, so slightly shallower DOF. I've been struggling about what features I should compromise, but so far to conclude I'm leaning more towards the Fuji, not the Sony (The Fuji is new). I'm afraid I won't get much discussion on this site but at least I'll try.
Just so you know, I don't make lots of money currently and it will take me about, I'd say 4 months to be able to afford any of these camera/lens combinations. However, black Friday is this month so maybe if there's a good deal, then I'll purchase either lens or camera, then save up for the other.
I've narrowed down my selection to Fuji X-A3 vs Sony A7. I hope that this is a good decision. I don't plan on spending well over $1,500.

You can compare ISO performance and color rendition here: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?...
Personally, I'd choose the A7 ii over any Fuji. The A7ii is a full-frame camera which has better noise, color, contrast and dynamic range than the Fuji's small-er sensor. Being full-frame also means that your focal lengths for any given angle of view will be longer than the lenses used with the Fuji X-E3 thus producing a shallower depth of field which helps you in your plan to create the Brenizer effect. Furthermore, since the A7ii is mirrorless, you can use any lens by any brand via lens adapters. This makes your argument for the E3, due to the lens options, moot.

To start, image quality depends mostly on your skill as a photographer. The camera is only a tool. All three cameras you mentioned are good. If these are all brand new, I suggest you buy the most expensive for maximum probability of satisfaction.

A camera with a 135 sensor will give you a shallower depth of field than an APS-C sensor for a given field of view. They'll have the same depth of field at a given focal length. In this scenario, the field of view will be narrower for the APS-C sensor. So it makes sense to go for a 135 sensor (so-called "full frame") if your interest is in landscapes. The Sony sensors are acclaimed as having the broadest dynamic range. However, unless you are a pixel-peeper, an extreme gear head, or have an intense devotion to shadow detail, you won't be able to tell the difference in 99% of the well-taken photographs from other cameras. My advice would be to go into a camera store and handle all the brands. Pick one that feels right and has a menu system that is not totally confusing.
