Where?
For Canon.?I'm considering either ditching Sony completely or keeping a body and couple of lenses.

OK. This is what happens with my A7.
I have mine set so that when looking at the back screen I have the histogram in the image and below the image I have the shutter speed, aperture, exposure and ISO. When set like this the exposure appears not as a bar but just as a number, plus or minus.
I can have the exposure scale on the back screen in Aperture or Shutter priority (as long as "exposure Set Guide" is set to "On" on page two of the little gear section of the menu) and I can call it up by using the back wheel, not the exposure dial but the other dial to the left of the exposure dial. The exposure dial doesn't call up the scale and just changes the plus and minus values below the image.
In manual mode I can't get the exposure dial to appear so I'm just left with the plus and minus values in the bar under the image. Maybe yours is the same?
Hope that helps.
Why fuji?Nope, can't see myself ever going back to a DSLR having had a mirrorless system.
I'm looking a Fuji at the moment with the possibility of keeping one A7RII with a prime or two.
Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I'll have a look tonight and get my camera set up like that. Many thanks
Good luck. Hope you get it sorted.
Why fuji?
Why not go for a Sony A6xxx and then you can use any lenses you keep?
Personally I'm probably happy with MFT but I like having the luxury of the Sony and to be honest I'm usually too tight to buy top end gear so the Sony is a treat
I could do but what lured me to Sony originally was the sensor etc, as it stands the Fuji XT-2 is looking a tasty option with really good crop designed Fujinon lenses.
The beauty is that you can't take a bad photograph with any modern kit. Anyone that blames the kit is covering for their own mistakes. It all comes down to ergonomics and the system as a whole so go for whatever works for you.
My only comment regarding the A6K is that there are two dials, the one on the top plate and the rear dial which are configured independently. Whilst there isn't a front dial I've never (personally) found it an issue as I shot weddings and portraits on a Canon 40D/5D mk1 for a few years and never found it a problem with them either.
I have made a full switch from a7rii and Zeiss glass to Fuji. I know that may seem daft to some- going from 42mp full frame to 16mg crop. I bought an xt1 and shot it alongside my a7rii. Once I got that hang of the Fuji I was finding the difference in real world quality was negligible. Obviously if cropping a lot the Sony would win hands down, but those shots that were framed correctly - well they are good enough for me.
I have found the Sony system expensive say compared with Canon and the list price of some of the glass is mind blowing.
I am lucky as my glass needs are not that taxing as say f2.8 or wider is not needed for what I enjoy I do print a fair bit just bought an Epson sc-p600 and the pixels are plenty at A3+
I would kind of like the A7r2 for the option of more cropping only thing is the cost is high for a hobby that as much as I would love doing more seems to get much less time than I would like.
I have been looking at used prices of the mk2 on the bay and cost of changing is a big dollop of cash my personal worry is the huge depreciation on any body that is even bigger on non Canon or Nikon systems. I think it was Chris who mentioned people will still look at used and look for purchase at prices reflected last year it's tough paying more for used than people probably paid new.
I notice many like the Fuji system for myself as I have Sony I could see no real benefit and I do really prefer full frame for landscape
As Alan often points out buying manual focus glass for special projects is an option with the Sony indeed used Canon L glass can be bought relatively cheap as in non IS 70-200mm sub £400 and my old favourite the 24-105mm f4 is excellent
So long story short will stick with the Sony system might be tempted for the r2 but not at £2k +
Thanks Twist certainly landscape is my main pleasure and I have found af perfect for my dog shots, very tempted for trying motocross with the A7 again not very fussed if I have several that don't nail focus I would just take extra shots and use delete keyI personally would avoid Fuji for landscape work. It just doesnt deal with foliage as well as Bayer.

I think there's a lot of truth in this and that anything from 1" sensors and above or maybe even smaller is fine much of the time for example my old Micro Four Thirds Panasonic G1 takes fantastically good images that stand up well to 100% pixel peeping on screen and my sister recently showed me her holiday snaps taken with some Sony JPEG only compact I'd never heard of and they looked fantastic on screen, even the night time shots but there are caveats and exceptions and the conditions may need to be not too challenging for the system, DR, ISO and the rest, and pixel peeping and massive crops are less good. It's the law of diminishing returns and if you can indeed fill the frame and not push the envelope too much then the more important things are handling and how you feel about the system and the look you're after and if you're happy then that's all that matters.
Having said all that you'll have to prise my A7 and 35 and 55mm lenses from my cold dead hands as the kit can give just lovely pictures

Someone was after a 35mm
