This is a camera that could destroy Fuji. I have a few Fujis and this one if it's small enough, it would put all my Fujis in retirement.
It delivers none of the things that interest me about Fuji.
I shoot Fuji for one reason. They give me the UI and ergonomics of a Nikon FM2n on a modern digital body, paired with compact and well built lenses that also feature classic UI. I'm an X-T shooter, but the X-Pro is rather similar except you can swap FM2n for Contax G2 (or Leica M to a lesser extent) in terms of UI on the X-Pro's.
The A7c does deliver compact & FF, something that only the old and rather limited A7 Classics did prior. But in terms of replacing Fuji the A7c delivers nothing that the A6600 doesn't already have except a FF sensor.
And yes, I shoot Sony too (A7II when I want to shoot with my classic lenses).
The A7c looks like a great body, and one I've been arguing for years that Sony needs to do (the A7 in an A6x00 body), but it's not any more of a Fuji killer than the A6600 is. Different targets and there's room for both in the market today.
The A7c might replace the A7II for me, but no way it would replace my Fuji's, just not the same sort of camera at all.
I personally can relate to what you are saying about the Fuji, but there are not that many people out there who remember the feel of a Nikon FM2n, or whom long to hold one again. There are more people who like the feel and features of their phone when they are taking pictures.
