That's what I thought...you haven't got a clue.

I've been put off work due to Covid19 and have exhausted my savings so have no money to hire a pro. Which camera?

OK it's a birthday party, not a wedding. Which camera?

What question? I see NO question.
Which camera do I choose?

But if I was to make an exception in just this case which camera do I choose?

OK so I’m sitting at home and my niece phones me and she says “Uncle Tony, we’ve decided to get married tomorrow and I want you to be the photographer and I want you to take the very best photos you can manage”. I book an airline ticket but there are weight restrictions so I can only take one camera. Which do I take, the mirrorless or the DSLR?

You are comparing the Nikon D850 and the Fuji X-T3 and not DSLR vs Mirrorless. Fast focus and high resolution charateristic of the D850 isn't only for DSLR. The nice color on the XT-3 isn't only for mirrorless.
So what are you saying?

You stripped the EXIF, so we can't begin to assess how worthless this comparison attempt was executed.
Gee thanks. Certainly appreciate that feedback

Both camera's are capable of delivering under similar conditions.
I thought that my example showed that this wasn't the case...?

I have 2 Fujis, and I have no idea what you are ta... (show quote)
Some of their lenses operate as you describe (for example the 18 - 55mm kit lens) but all of the primes that I have don't have this switch, they just have a position on the aperture ring "A" which has to be selected to allow the front command dial to adjust the aperture. It's a great feature but unfortunately doesn't have a 'hard' detent to stop the ring from moving accidentally. I don't think either of your Fujis have the capability to utilise this feature.

If “the winner is clearly the Nikon” why would you continue to vacillate?
In fact I don't, I keep both :-)

I own a DSLR (Nikon D850) and a mirrorless camera (Fujifilm X-T3) and I vacillate between the two when thinking about whether I could live with just one system. Often I'll take say a bird photo with the Nikon, using the 600mm Sigma, and marvel at the speed of focus and the ability to crop in really close and get a good shot that fills the whole frame. Then I'll take some shots with the Fuji and marvel at the great colours and the fantastic resolution. If we disregard the weight advantage of the mirrorless and the (questionable) advantage of being able to see the image before you take the photo then it comes down to IQ.
So I decided to shoot the same shot with both cameras, making everything as equal as possible, using good quality lenses for both, and then compare. Both shots were taken in the kitchen, on a tripod, with small apertures, low ISOs and 10 second SS. The Nikon has the advantage of a low ISO 64.
There's not a huge amount in it but the winner is clearly the Nikon (and rightfully so given it's FF status and high megapixel count) but if you didn't have both images side by side to compare I don't think it would be clear cut. They are very close.
So it looks like I'll continue to vacillate :-)

If it bothers you, perhaps it would be better to change the model ? 
That would seem a bit drastic especially as all my Fuji lenses suffer from the same issue. So it's not a 'model' issue. Or did you mean switch systems? I could do that but I love everything else about the Fuji gear, especially the colour, so I'll continue to look for a solution.
I'm really surprised that some other Fuji shooters haven't chimed in; it has to be a common problem...
