Sony a6300 image stabilization

Question

I am trying to make a move from point and shoot (I own nikon p510) to interchangeable lenses. I have zoomed into

Sony Alpha A6300 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS PZ + 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS and
Fujifilm X-T20

which got fairly good review and matches my pocket. But since I am new in this field, I am still lost. I have a very shaky hand, so some type of image stabilization is necessary. But, in this type of camera, there is mostly in lens stabilization. Can you guys please help me a bit with commenting how good this will be for mostly indoor/outdoor portrait and landscape shots?

@PhilipKendall: I agree that there are a bunch of similar questions; and mine is bit blurry, but here I tried not to ask a generic question, that may tend to a brand war, but if I will get some type of image stabilization from this two model. Also, if it is possible to pick up an easy winner between these two. — BaRud, Mar 03 '17 at 10:47

Neither the Sony A6300 nor the Fujfilm X-T20 have in-body image stabilization.

You have linked to a Sony bundle which includes two lenses with the "OSS" designation — these do include image-stabilization. You can read more about the advantages and disadvantages of each approach at What is the difference between in-lens image stabilizing and sensor-based image stabilizing?

Your link to the Fujifilm camera is just to a review of the body, with no lenses mentioned, but the roughly-equivalent zoom lenses in the Fujfilm lineup are all "OIS" lenses — Fujifilm's term for in-lens stabilization.

In short, the availability of image stabilization for this particular comparison isn't a factor. In deciding between the systems, you might want to focus more on particular lenses and applications. For example, Fujifilm does not currently offer image stabilization on any of its X-mount prime lenses (although an 80mm macro with OIS is planned), while Sony offers a number of options like a 35mm f/1.8 with OSS. But, whether that matters depends a lot on you.
