We already listed pros and cons of each model. However, you may also find useful to look at their common strengths and weaknesses shown side-by-side.

Screen

Sony Alpha 6700 and Fujifilm X100VI have 3.0" screens with 1,037k dots and 1,620k dot resolutions respectively. Sony Alpha 6700 has a Fully Articulated screen which makes it selfie and vlogger friendly and generally very useful for video shooting. Fujifilm X100VI has a Tilting screen which makes it very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting. Both models feature touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.

Viewfinder

Sony Alpha 6700 has a built-in 0.39" Electronic (OLED) viewfinder with 2,359k dots resolution and Fujifilm X100VI has a built-in Electronic and Optical (tunnel) viewfinder with 3,690k dot resolution. They both have 100% coverage.

Sony Alpha 6700 features a 26.0 megapixel APS-C BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 23.3 x 15.5 mm and a total area of 361.2 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 32,000 and expands to 50 - 102,800 in boosted mode. Fujifilm X100VI features a 40.2 megapixel APS-C [] sensor with dimensions of 23.5 x 15.6 mm and a total area of 243.4 mm². Its native ISO range is 125 - 12,800 and expands to 64 - 51,200 in boosted mode.

Sony Alpha 6700 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Sony Alpha 6700 is equipped with Bionz XR processor and can take pictures up to 6192 x 4128 resolution. Fujifilm X100VI is equipped with X-Processor 5 processor and can take pictures up to 7728 x 5152 resolution.

No Low-Pass Filter

There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on either of the cameras. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.

Image Stabilization

The cameras have a built-in image stabilization (5 stops of compensation in Sony Alpha 6700). On Sony Alpha 6700 it means that you are still getting vibration reduction when it is paired with non-image stabilizied lenses. It also works with lenses with optical image stabilization and in combination can achieve even better compensation.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Cameras have built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5 MIMO 2x2 802.11ac/b/g/n 2.4/5 GHz on Sony Alpha 6700) which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.

Bluetooth

Sony Alpha 6700 and Fujifilm X100VI have built-in Bluetooth (version 4.2 on Sony Alpha 6700) which lets you to connect the camera to a smartphone or a dedicated remote control device. This allows you to remotely trigger the camera, adjust settings and controls remotely through a paired mobile app. While Wi-Fi is generally faster for transferring larger files, Bluetooth can be used for small, selective transfers, it can provide real-time information about your camera's battery status, memory card capacity, and other key settings directly on your paired smartphone or smartwatch.
