I use Olympus cameras with the M43 sensor that sports 17 Mp. Obviously, you are interested in Sony or Fuji which are mirrorless but not M43 format and 24 Mp.
Since both of the cameras you have in mind have an APS sensor you know that holding them in your hands, checking ergonomics and the features you use often in your photography makes for an easier decision. I am quite sure you have made your homework and by now you have a pretty good idea of what you want. You also know that preferences play a role.
If you prefer a dSLR type the Fuji is your camera.
Although I do not have experience with any of those bodies I am pretty familiar with the results both cameras are capable of and I doubt it if regardless of your choice you are not satisfied with their performance.

I have a Fuji xt2 and a xe2. Four lenses. Have to say that both are great cameras ,easy to work with,light and the lenses have superb optics. My favorite is the 18-55. Stan

The Sony a6500 with it's improved "Steadyshot" technology was my choice with only one lens (Zeiss ƒ4- 16~70) was all I needed. It was light, quiet and unobtrusive. Unlike my D810 and two of the pro ƒ2.8 zooms I took on my last trip. This wasn't a "photo-safari" type trip but still my concern about an ƒ4 lens was quickly put to rest when I saw how noiseless the 24MP Sony was at high ISO's. My only regret was not getting to know the camera better before getting on the plane. I plan to use it for professional work in the future.

I have a Fuji X-T10, A Sony A6000 and an Olympus OMD-E-M10. So far I enjoy using the Fuji best of all.
Having access to buttons and dials on the camera make changes is so much faster and easier than going thru menus.
And I have to say I like the images I am getting from the Fuji better than the other two.
To me the Fuji is just a more intuitive and easier to use camera. Brings back the feeling of using a film SLR camera.

I would rent the Fuji X-T2 or the Fuji X-T20. And there is nothing wrong with the A6300. I have one other rental suggestion, but it may be too expensive as a rental. Because of the 4:3 ratio matches most common print sizes slightly better than the 2:3 ratio, the 20mp 4/3rds cameras sometimes match or surpasses the 24mp 2:3 format (especially at 30" X 40"). I would also look at the possibility of renting the Olympus E-M1mrII along with the 12-100mm f4 Pro IS lense. Size and weight wise I think it would prove interesting. I am sure whether you even look at the Olympus, or choose the Fuji or Sony, your knowledge of cameras will provide you an exceptional photographic time in those two week in France.

Lots of great advice and good choices. I personally like the version one of the Olympus OMD EM-1. Small, sturdy and light, great in body stabilization, excellent image quality with the right lens. A somewhat dense and deep menu system, and a few quirks, but after you learn it, its a quite spectacular tool. I know there are lots of folks who dismiss micro 4/3 out of hand but a little more depth of field and in body stabilization in a small package can be great. Low light? APSC and full frame sensors have better high ISO performance for sure, but I find very good results to ISO 1600 and the .jpegs in the version one EM-1 are very nice and true. Also great reach from small and compact zoom lenses, allow you to capture shots you might not get otherwise, due to the size of APSC and full frame system zoom lenses. Lets face it, traveling lighter and smaller is a good thing these days. My other favorite travel camera is the Nikon Df. The other end of the spectrum. Its always had its detractors and its always been a bit over priced, but I think the images that come out of it are gorgeous, it's incredible in low light, and the battery life is down right fantastic. I combined micro four thirds and the Df (with small lenses) on a recent trip to New Zealand and loved the combo. Once used to the Df controls, its a nice camera and I have gotten to the point where I really like the ISO dial, for instance. Its not a camera for everyone but I love mine and love using it with small MF Nikkor lenses, like the AIS 20mm f3.5, for instance. I was one of the people who scorned the Df when it came out, then I bought a used one a couple years later, and now I love it, so I guess I ate crow. Regardless, there are so many great potential travel cameras out there now, like the Fuji XT-1 and XT-2, Sony, Panasonic etc., that we are all lucky travelers now, aren't we? :)

Fuji X-T2 w/18-55 F/2.8-4.0 (this is their "kit" lens but it is very sharp) and 23 F/1.4 prime. The 55-200 lens is also very nice. Be sure to take along a vertical battery grip and a back-up set of batteries. I have a Vello grip (less than a Fuji grip) on my X-T1 and I've not had any problems with it. The X-T2 has 2 card slots, 24.3 MP sensor and is very very good in low light and the batteries last a long time. Fuji equipment is also small-sized and light. For charging the batteries I would include a Watson duo-charger for charging 2 batteries at the same time and I think that you can get an international power adapter. Read more about the aforementioned camera and equipment at kenrockwell.com and have a nice trip.

For what it's worth, I'm having a ball with a Sony RX10-M4 for shooting in good light, and a Google Pixel XL for indoor, low light and grab shooting. Remarkably, the phone outperforms my D810 indoors in medium to low ambient light.

I guess the Sony resale value is better as well.

I am currently a Nikon user but am thinking of buying a PEN E-PL8 for convenience when traveling. Any experience with that Olympus?

burkphoto Loc: High Point, NC

As a format, yes, Micro 4/3 rocks. I would go for Olympus JPEG quality or Panasonic ease of use. But I’d probably skip the E-PL8. I’m a fan of the Lumix G85 and GX85. The Olympus Pen-F and OM-D E-M5 II are in the same class. If you edit raw files, there is little difference among these, except the Pen-F and GX85 use a 20.3MP sensor and the others have 16MP.

I never shoot in RAW, not that advanced. That is probably one of the reasons my camera guy recommended the E-pL8

Has nothing to do with adjusting iso, aperture, time (speed), and exposure compensation. An em10ii would also be a good option.

I often use my Nikon D750 with the old 50mm 1.8D lense. This combination is really light.
