Re: Those who have Q3 and Fuji 100V1…..detailed impressions?
26mm vs. 35mm. It's widely reported that the Q3 has a lens that is closer to 24mm than a true 28mm. For any serious photography purpose, 26mm and 35mm are completely different focal lengths. They are not interchangeable. If I'm looking for a 26mm lens, I'm not going to consider a 35mm lens, and vice versa. Yes you can crop the 26mm file to get 35mm, but you are only getting 33MP vs. 40MP and I'm not going to pay 6k to mainly use it in a way that throws away almost half of the sensor (and its advantages).
The sizes are also not in the same category. The Q3 (743g) is of the size of a small body plus an independent lens (it's just that they are soldered together). But the X100VI (521g) is essentially flat. It makes a day and night difference in pocketability and in a crowded bag. A better comparison for the Q3 is a Sony A7CR with a 24/28mm lens, while for the X100VI a closer comparator is a Fuji X-E4 with a pancake 27/2.8 lens.
