TLDR version: I own both. Buy the Q3 43, it costs more but that’s because it’s much, much better. I wanted a decent quality, carry everywhere camera - better image quality and better ergonomics than an iPhone but lighter than a Z8 with lens. I’d previously had an X100T, but had never really got on w

Considering there will always be more hobbyists than pros, I don’t think that’s really the issue. The camera companies can’t exist without them and the sales numbers will always skew more towards hobbyists than pros solely because of the sheer number of camera consumers as a whole vs working profess

Honestly all Fujifilm camera are the same exact thing. I’ve had the XT30II, X100Vi, and now the XS20. They feel the same, shoot the same, act the same regardless of the processor, shutter etc. people aren’t going to like what I write and that’s fine, it’s just my opinion but nothing justifies why th

Many say that the FujiFilm X-E5 is an interchangeable lens version of the X100VI. The only things your missing is the ND filter and weather sealing. If you want something something with weather sealing look at an X-T5.

The short and most honest answer is Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Longer answer: I bought the x100vi when it was first released. Around this time, this is when firmware was released that really messed with the autofocus system. At the time, the camera would miss focus maybe 40% to 50% of the time, even

I could have bought a x100vi fujifilm but bought a s9 instead with better lens. The key here is value. The moment they pump prices up with same product the value proposition drops and sales go down. Lumix needs to keep this balance of offering comparable products for less than competition and if the

I sold my x1000vi for an x-e5, mostly because I wanted to change lenses, but I'm actually liking the x-e5 better in most ways. IMO it fixes the biggest issue with Fujifilm cameras if you engage with film sims/recipes.... it lets you save your own custom recipes separate from custom C profiles. This

I honestly feel like Fujifilm lost something when they switched from having dedicated dials for shutter speed and ISO to a M/A/S/P dial. I guess they still use it on the XT-5 and the X100VI but they really should go back to it on all their cameras except maybe the X-H2/X-H2S. It's especially egregio

I'd actually recommend against the X100VI as your first camera, even though it's hugely popular. The X100VI's 23mm f/2 (35mm equivalent) is a great focal length, but as a beginner, you need to discover what YOU like shooting and what focal lengths work for your style. Being locked into one lens mean
