@Aeroektar "Is that the X100T or X100S" and will having a basic X100 produce that type of image?
I use the X100 original, I bought it used a year ago and it was the best $400 I ever spent on a digital camera, its even cheaper now. In all honesty yes, you will be able to create the same images with all 3 cameras, the sensors used in all three cameras are great, everything else is the same: the lens, the body, the ergonomics.
The X100 uses a 12mp CMOS sensor, the later 2 models use a Xtrans sensor, Xtrans is new technology, it can be more finicky with the raw file processing but a lot of people rave about the Xtrans sensors. CMOS sensor technology has been around for over a decade, has been perfected, and fuji did an amazing job with the one in the X100, when it first came out it was probably the most talked about camera for a year.
When it comes to camera specs, its splitting hairs, Ringo summed it up perfectly, the photographer matters more then the equipment. All the cameras posted in this thread are extremely capable of taking amazing pictures, and also shitty pictures if the person using it doesn't know what they are doing.
I'd also strongly suggest always buying used for the same reasons Ringo stated, new cameras themselves depreciate horribly, a new $1200 camera today will most likely be worth $600 in 2 years. Lenses generally hold their value, especially good ones that are in demand and sought after.
Kaotic, instead of buying the Sony A6300, buy the A6000 or even the older Sony NEX-7, you will be equally served by the older cameras and you will save hundreds of dollars. Money spent on good lenses that will match your vision is money better spent.
New models of cameras are almost always not worth the extra money over the used older one, and the only upgrades made over the previous model or two is gimmicky features that wont make a difference, unless its something really innovative and your capable of utilizing that new innovation.
