I like to shoot sports occasionally, so I am thinking about the hybrid phase detection on the NEX-6, but the NEX-7 has a better control setup and possibly better IQ. The new lens that comes with the NEX-6 does make it nice and compact, however, and is probably better image quality than the 18-55 kit lens that comes with the NEX-7.

The NEX-6 is a great camera with the new hybrid phase / contrast focus. Keep in mind that the NEX-5R also has the same sensor and focus technology as the NEX-6. The sensor is a proven APS-C sensor so there isn't much to talk about. When compare to the NEX-7, the NEX-6 performs better in high ISO but the NEX-7 captures more details with its 24MP sensor.
Also keep in mind that the NEX-6 has the standard hot shoe while the NEX-7 doesn't. However, the NEX-6 lacks audio jack if you are into shooting videos. Can't go wrong with either.

Fujifilm X-E1 produces sharp images and performs really good in high ISO situation. You can get adapter for it and put Leica lens on it and it would still perform wonderfully. The down side I can think of about the X-E1 is the EVF and the AF. The EVF lags a bit and the AF tends to hunt a bit. The camera is great for taking still photos but not so much for video. If price isn't a problem it's a great camera.
