The fuji X-Pro 2 features a excellent Shutter range that goes from 60 to 16000 with the help of electronic and mechanical shutter on the other hand the Sony also feature Hybrid shutter but the range remains limited to 60-1/4000.

Continuous shooting speed in A6300 is more faster, the camera can shoot upto 11fps @ 24 MP image files, the Fuji X-Pro2 camera is limited to 5 fps only.

The Fuji X-Pro 2 camera unfortunately limited to Full HD mode only on the other hand the Sony A6300 can shoot 4 videos @ 30fps and Full HD videos at 120fps.

Verdict: Both camera uses new sensor but the Sony sensor is more advance in-terms of AF-capability, the Fuji X-Trans sensor is Low-Pass Less and we do expect bit more sharp images from Fuji. The Sony A6300 have more AF points and will cover more screen compared to Fuji So you never loos your AF on speedy subject.
